Five hundred and sixty-five: Shi Taijun had a banquet in the Grand View Garden
Daiyu actually likes these delicate things, and they are not too sweet sweets, so Daiyu uses more of them. But seeing that Jia Jing is not very interested, she doesn't use them anymore, and just quietly talks to Jia Jing on the side.
Bite your ears and say something.
Over there, Sister Feng had already asked someone to pass the food over, but instead she put a bowl of pigeon eggs for Grandma Liu. The thing was small and sleek, and Sister Feng even put on a pair of old ivory tassels inlaid with gold!
When Jia's mother said "please", Grandma Liu stood up and said loudly: "Old Liu, Old Liu, he eats as much as a cow. He can eat an old sow without raising his head!" But she puffed up her cheeks and remained silent.
Everyone present was stunned at first, and then they came to their senses and couldn't help laughing! Shi Xiangyun couldn't hold it in anymore and spit out a mouthful of rice. Lin Daiyu broke out in laughter and leaned over the table to pat Jia Jing's cheeks privately.
The hands screamed ouch.
Baoyu had already rolled into Jia Mu's arms. Jia Mu hugged Baoyu with a smile and called her darling. Mrs. Wang asked her to know that it must be Wang Xifeng's idea, so she smiled and pointed at Sister Feng, but she was laughing so hard that she couldn't speak!
Aunt Xue over there came after dinner, so she only drank tea aside, but she didn't escape, and she accidentally sprayed the tea in her mouth onto Tanchun's skirt!
Tanchun laughed so hard that he placed all his rice bowls on Yingchun. When Xichun saw this, he laughed so much that he almost banged the table!
Everyone on the ground was bending over, some were hiding out and squatting to laugh, and some were holding back their laughter and came up to change clothes for his sisters. Jia Jing smiled and patted Daiyu's hand, while Daiyu was lying on the table.
She tilted her head, squinted her eyes slightly, looked at him with a smile on her cheeks and said nothing.
Over there, Sister Feng and Yuanyang still pretended not to know and insisted on asking Grandma Liu to eat. Grandma Liu nodded in response and picked up the chopsticks. The ivory chopsticks were inlaid with gold and were heavy and inconvenient. The Jia family usually had meals.
I don’t use it either, it’s just used to show off when giving banquets.
At this time, Sister Feng deliberately took it out to tease Grandma Liu. As expected, Grandma Liu felt that the tachyon in her hand was really heavy and unruly!
While holding it anxiously, he said: "The chickens here are also handsome, and the eggs they lay are also small and very handsome! I will die for one!"
Everyone had just calmed down, and they couldn't help but laugh again when they heard what she said, which was vulgar and country-like. Mother Jia burst into tears from laughing, and Amber was so frightened that she quickly stroked Jia Mother's back.
Jia Mu calmed down a little and said with a smile: "This must be Feng Yatou's fault. Don't believe her anymore."
Grandma Liu didn't listen and still held it in a playful way. Sister Feng also laughed quickly and said: "It's one tael of silver each. Try it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold." But where can I hold it? It becomes more and more obvious.
Embarrassed!
The bowl was full of good things for a while, and it was easy to pick one up. Then I stretched my neck to eat it. When I pinched it hard, it immediately slipped out of the bowl and rolled on the ground!
Upon seeing this, Grandma Liu quickly put down her kuaizi and went to pick it up with her hands. How could she really be asked to eat something on the ground?
Jia Jing then ordered: "Pick it up and throw it away. How can you eat it with others if it becomes dusty?" According to what he said, someone underground had already picked it up and took it out.
Sister Feng and Yuanyang looked at each other, especially since this man is kind-hearted and thinks we have abused others...
Grandma Liu over there looked at the eggs and sighed with excitement, saying: "One tael of silver was gone without even hearing a sound." Hearing what she said, even Jia Jing, who was just smiling and supporting the Marquis, couldn't help but laugh.
Got up.
When everyone saw him laughing, they all laughed too. Jia Mu then smiled and said to Jia Jing: "Now I have brought out the fast boy again, and we don't invite guests to a big banquet. They are all Feng girls."
The envoy hasn’t been replaced yet!”
Hearing this, Jia Jing glanced at Wang Xifeng and waved her hand. The people below had not prepared these chopsticks. Sister Feng and Yuanyang had brought them. At this time, after hearing what Jia Mu said and Jia Jing also gave the same order, she hurriedly
He went up and put it away, and also put on a pair of ebony inlaid with silver.
Grandma Liu couldn't help but sighed and said: "The gold one is gone, but the silver one is not as good as our thick bamboo and rotten wood!" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Sister Feng joked: "If the food is poisonous,
Once the money goes down, you can try it out."
Grandma Liu curled her lips and glared: "Scare! If there is poison in this dish, our dishes will all turn into arsenic! Even if we eat such a good dish, we will be poisoned to death!"
Seeing that she was so interesting and the food was delicious, Jia Mu brought her own food to eat with her. After everyone finished eating, they all went to Tanchun's bedroom to chat.
After Sister Feng and Li Wan finished serving everyone, they asked someone to clean up the remaining tables and set up another table. Then they sat down and started eating. The daughter-in-law of the family had such a rule. When the family members were eating, she had to wait on them.
Yes, it can only be used after everyone has finished using it.
Grandma Liu over there looked at Li Wan and Sister Feng sitting opposite each other and eating, and couldn't help but sigh: "Nothing else, I just love the way your family behaves. It's strange that Taoists say that etiquette outweighs everyone!"
At this time, the country was still dominated by the Han people, and the Han people talked a lot but did not do much in reality. Therefore, although there were etiquette and laws, except for such a large family with great rules and regulations, ordinary people and wealthy merchants and gentry did not have so many rules.
It was only later that foreign races entered the Central Plains, in order to strengthen their control over the people's hearts, that there were so many oppressions and distorted ethics, and the feudal dynasty completely reached its peak.
When Sister Feng over there heard what she said, she was afraid that she felt that waiting for others to make fun of her was a little too much, and now she felt humiliated and was deliberately being yin and yang!
So he quickly smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, everyone just made fun of you." Before he could say anything, Yuanyang also came in and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't be upset, I will make amends for you, old man."
Grandma Liu didn't mean this at first. She just lamented how difficult it was for Sister Feng and others to be wives. When she saw the two of them expressing their annoyance to her, she hurriedly smiled and said: "What are you talking about? Let's coax the old lady to have a good time. Is that okay?"
What's so annoying! Just tell me first and I'll understand. But just to make a joke, if I'm upset in my heart, I won't say anything."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Mu also smiled and said: "If you are really angry and only look for them, they will be punished!" Jia Jing also nodded and said: "The second sister-in-law is just the same.
That’s all, I’m so wild that I can’t control it. I didn’t expect to lead my mandarin duck to ruin, so that’s not okay, it’s a girl who doesn’t respect the elderly!”
Wang Xifeng almost laughed angrily when she heard this: "What do you mean I'm so wild?" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and their pretty faces turned red with laughter!
Yuanyang hurriedly changed the subject and shouted outside: "Why don't you pour tea for grandma to eat!" As he said this, he made an excuse to get out. He really couldn't stand the half-smiling look in Daiyu and Baochai's eyes!
Everyone laughed even more when they heard what she said! Xiangyun held her belly and rolled on the bed with laughter and said: "Sister Yuanyang! Are you in a hurry when you say that?"
Yuanyang was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood it immediately. Jia Jing said that the girl who didn't respect the elderly didn't want it, and she had to "respect the elderly" in a hurry...
Grandma Liu over there said hurriedly: "That sister-in-law just brought me some tea. I've eaten it. It's time for the girl to eat."
Sister Feng pulled Yuanyang, who was already so embarrassed that he could hardly stand, and said, "Sit down and eat with us, otherwise you won't have to make trouble again when you come back." Upon hearing this, Yuanyang hurriedly sat down to eat, and everyone gave up.
Everyone was chatting among themselves, and Jia Mu took a look into the backyard through the screen window and said, "The sycamore trees under the eaves of the back porch are also fine, just a little thinner."
While they were talking, a gust of wind suddenly passed by, and the sound of drums was faintly heard. Jia Mu asked, "Whose family are you getting married to? This place is close to the street."
Mrs. Wang and others smiled and replied: "You can hear it from the street. It's our dozen or so girls practicing the flute."
Jia Mu then said with a smile: "Since they are acting, why not ask them to come in and practice? They are idle and it is idle. We will have fun after strolling around."
Sister Feng heard this and said with a smile: "We have to tell our second brother about this! Otherwise we won't dare to touch other people's little troupe!" Jia Jing heard this and said with a smile: "When did you use me and didn't give it to me? Who should I tell you this?
Woolen cloth?"
Sister Feng's face turned red when she heard this, and she glanced at Jia Jing suspiciously, feeling that this guy didn't have anything nice to say...
Jia Jing blinked her eyes strangely and said: "Look what I'm doing? The old lady is so elegant, why don't you call me quickly? Just tell Wang Fuzhong to prepare those things."
Sister Feng curled her lips, but did not dare to neglect, and hurried over. At the same time, she ordered a table to be set up and covered with red felt.
Jia Mu said: "Let's arrange it on the water pavilion of the Lotus Champs Pavilion. The sound of the water will be better heard. When we come back, we will have wine under the Zhujin Pavilion. It is spacious and can be heard close."
Jia Jing couldn't help but gesticulated with her thumbs and said: "She must be an old lady! Elegant!" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Jia's mother also smiled and hit him: "I know how to arrange my old lady!"
Jia Jing suddenly smiled evilly and said to Daiyu: "Ling Guan's flute is good, can my sister play the flute?" How could Daiyu know what Jia Jing meant by "Xiao", so she just blinked in confusion.
Eyes said: "I can't...but I can play the piano!"
Daiyu was afraid that Jia Jing would like girls who could play musical instruments, so she held her little head up proudly, but Jia Jing suppressed a smile and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how. I'll teach you when I get the chance..."
Daiyu is not a fool, so how can she not see that Jia Jing's eyes are not kind? So she squinted her eyes slightly and said in an unkind way: "What do you want to say, second brother?"
On the contrary, Tan Chun scratched his head and said: "Second brother wants to teach Sister Lin how to play the flute? Why didn't I know that second brother can play the flute? Who did second brother learn from?"
Jia Jing's smile suddenly became forced, and she said with a dry smile: "I can't play, uh, I can play the dongxiao, but I can't do anything else..."
Baochai interrupted and said with a smile: "Can you know Suona?" Jia Jing shook her head and said: "I really haven't learned this..."
Baochai looked confused and said: "No? No way? I don't think the second brother is very good at playing?" Jia Jing suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, knowing that Baochai might know what he was talking about, so
Make fun of yourself for talking nonsense...
Jia Jing could only look at Daiyu's increasingly suspicious eyes and Baochai's soft smile on the surface, but in reality his sarcastic eyes said with a dry smile: "If you have a chance, you will definitely learn if you have a chance..."
Fortunately, Jia Mu opened her mouth to help Jia Jing out of the siege. Jia Mu stood up and smiled at Aunt Xue: "Let's go. The sisters don't like people to come and sit for fear of dirtying the room. Let's not look down and sit down."
Let’s go back to the boat and have a drink.”
When everyone heard that they all stood up to leave, Tanchun hurriedly smiled and said: "If this is the case, I can't just ask the old lady and aunt to come and sit down!"
Jia Mu smiled and said: "These three girls of mine are good. They only have one beautiful jade and one ugly jade! When we come back and get drunk, we hope they will cause trouble in the house!"
Daiyu's face turned red when she heard this. What do you mean by going to their room to make trouble? It's as if they were in the same room...
Jia Jing, on the other hand, said shamelessly: "Welcome! In the past, I couldn't even welcome the old lady! Not many of you like to run to my Ning'an Hall, not to mention drinking too much, just sleeping there, I
That’s enough room!”
Everyone laughed when they heard this. The white tiger in his Ning'an Hall was as intimidating as a living one, so no one wanted to go there.
After everyone went out, they still got on the boat. After getting off the boat, everyone walked along the embankment. Baoyu suddenly said: "These broken lotus leaves are hateful. Why don't you let people come and pull them out?"
Baoyu only liked the red flowers and green willows, and never liked the decline that followed. Hearing this, Baochai smiled and said, "How could I have left this garden idle these past few days this year? I walked around every day, and there was no time to ask someone to tidy it up."
Jia Jing smiled and said: "No one is allowed to pull it out for me. I like Li Yishan's sentence of "leaving the lotus residue to listen to the sound of rain" the most! Can you just pull it out for me?" Seeing this, Daiyu stepped forward and said softly: "
Why are you so pretentious?"
Jia Jing: “…………”
Everyone burst out laughing. Jia Jing looked at Daiyu in shock. Do you mean it? You didn't say this yourself? Why did it sound hypocritical when I said it?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing his expression, Daiyu couldn't help but laugh too. Everyone laughed, especially Baoyu laughed even more. Jia Jing didn't care, everyone laughed.
I consciously arrived under the flowery Luogang, and felt eerie to the bones. The decaying grass and water chestnuts on the two beaches only added to the autumn mood.
Seeing the vastness of the Qingsha Mansion on the shore, Jia Mu asked, "Is this your Miss Xue's house?" The maid behind responded, and Jia Mu nodded, then led everyone into Hengwu Garden.
As soon as I walked in, I felt a strange fragrance assail my nostrils. Those strange grasses and fairy vines became colder and greener, and they were all solid, like coral beans, and they were cute and tired.
Jia Mu couldn't help but point out and invite everyone to see. When she entered the house, she felt as if she had entered a snow cave! There were no toys at all. There was only an earthen vase on the eucalyptus with several sprigs of chrysanthemums, two books, and tea cups.
That's all.
There is also a canopy bed, with only a green gauze curtain hanging on the bed, and the quilt is also very simple. Although it looks bright and simple, it is too simple. There is no such "shabby" place in the entire Grand View Garden!
After looking at it, Mother Jia couldn't help but sigh: "This child is too honest. You don't have any furnishings, why not ask your aunt for some. I didn't argue, and I didn't expect that naturally I didn't bring your things at home."
As he spoke, he quickly ordered Yuanyang to fetch some antiques, and said to Sister Feng with a slightly annoyed tone: "Why don't you give your sister some toys? It's such a small thing!"
Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and others all laughed back and said, "She didn't want it herself. We sent it to her, but she sent it back." Aunt Xue also hurriedly smiled and said, "She doesn't do much with these things at home."
Jia Mu shook her head and said, "It can't be helped. Although she saves trouble, if a relative comes, it doesn't look like it. On the other hand, young girls are taboo in such a sober room. We old women should live in a horse pen!"
"
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. After all, this is the Jia family. You can be as naughty as you want in your family, but why are you like this in Jia Jing's family? Jia's mother is a little unhappy!
Baochai looked a little ashamed and sad when he heard this. When Jia Jing saw this, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Jia Mu: "I think it's quite good. Girls each have their own interests. If they are all carved from the same mold, then
What else is interesting? It looks so simple and comfortable, I think it’s pretty good..."
Jia Mu snorted coldly and said, "You feel so bad!" Jia Jing opened her mouth, and Jia Mu snorted and said, "You have no place to speak here!"
Jia Jing shrugged silently. Mother Jia glared at Jia Jing, and then said: "You heard about the embroidery rooms of the ladies in the books and plays, they are so exquisite! Although the sisters dare not compare with those ladies.
You guys, don’t be too deviant. If you have ready-made things, why not put them away? If you really like simplicity, a few things will make it easier.”
Jia's mother said to Baochai: "I am the best at cleaning the house. Now that I am old, I no longer have such leisure time. You sisters should also learn to clean up well. I am afraid that it will be tacky and some good things will be ruined! I see you
They are quite good. Now let me clean them up for you, making sure they are generous and neat. I have two ladders. As of now, they have not been seen by Baoyu. If they had passed through his eyes, they would be gone."
Baoyu shrugged helplessly. When had he ever cared about these things? It didn't matter whether he gave it to him or not. If he gave it to Baochai, it would be in line with his wishes.
As she spoke, Mother Jia called Yuanyang and said, "It's enough to place the stone bonsai, the gauze table screen, and the stone tripod frozen with ink smoke on this eucalyptus. Then put the ink calligraphy and painting
Bring the Bai Ling tent and change this tent too."
Yuanyang accepted the matter with a smile and said with a smile: "These things are all placed in some box on the east floor. I have to find them slowly and take them back tomorrow." Jia Mu said: "After tomorrow.
The capital will make you happy, just don’t forget it.”
Everyone sat for a while, and then went their separate ways. Jia Jing quietly walked a few steps behind and whispered to Baochai: "I'll tell Yuanyang later that there's no need to send him over. Anyway, the house is his own. Of course, he can do whatever he feels comfortable with.
My wife doesn’t like to come to the garden on weekdays.”
As he spoke, he quietly blinked at Baochai. Baochai felt warm in his heart, but he still shook his head gently and said, "It's okay, just follow what the old lady said."
Baochai is the most obedient. No matter whether the old lady is here or not, since she said it, she will change it. It is just a change of living habits. It is enough to know that Jia Jing cares about her and is willing to pamper her.
