Chapter 41: Paste rolls and paste sesame seed cakes
The moment he saw Qin Keqing, a melody suddenly rose in Jia Lian's heart:
"You cried and said to me,
Fairy tales are all lies,
I can't be your prince."
This was the melody that would play in his mind every time he saw the school beauty in his three years of high school.
But at that time, he mostly repeated the following sentences;
"I would like to become the angel you love in the fairy tale.
Open your hands and turn them into wings to protect you."
Growing up, who hasn’t had the experience of being a bitch for a goddess?
Unless, you have never met the goddess in your mind.
Today, Jia Lian thought of this song again, not because he wanted to be a licking dog, but because Qin Keqing's fairy tale seemed to be a little bit deceptive.
She is indeed graceful and graceful, and her appearance is indeed charming and bright. She can definitely be regarded as a "devil figure, angel face", and her demeanor is gentle and demure, beautiful, really beautiful.
But, it’s not as beautiful as imagined.
At least, she didn't have the kind of beauty that Jia Lian imagined that would overwhelm all beauties and make her die at the sight of her.
But the meaning behind the words in "A Dream of Red Mansions" all implies that Qin Keqing is "the most beautiful Red Mansion".
Sure enough, "It is better to have no books than to believe in all the books."
The selfies of beautiful internet celebrities in previous lives are not believable. Do you think the descriptions of peerless beauties in ancient books are believable?
At least Jia Lian felt that he was still slightly disappointed.
Maybe it's because the imagined expectations are too high.
The Qin Keqing in front of her is already married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It seems that this status makes her beautiful face more charming.
Unlike Wang Xifeng, who is similar in age and flamboyant, she puts herself very low and every move is gentle and gentle, even with a hint of flattery.
Jia Lian instantly understood why everyone in the Jia family, from Jia Mu and mother-in-law Youshi, to the servants at home, and even the shrewd and jealous Wang Xifeng, were full of love and pity for Qin Keqing.
But for such a woman, the verdict on her in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is completely different from other people's romances. It directly says: "Love in heaven, love, sea, and body are illusory. When love meets, it will be the master. Even unkind words will come out. The beginning of quarrels is real."
"Ning", "The paintings of Liang Chun are all fragrant. Being good at style and admiring the beauty of the moon is the root of a ruined family. Decline and decline are all due to respect. Ning is the first to blame for the demise of family affairs. All evil is always due to love."
He almost pointed at Qin Keqing’s nose and said: You, this pretty thing, are a “prostitute” and the “fundamental prodigal”.
Is this too much?
Just like when Datang Group collapsed, the first general manager in the middle was blamed on "Xiao Mi" for being too beautiful. Don't you feel guilty?
Jia Lian complained in his heart, but he still had to say what he said in the scene:
"No gifts, no gifts, have you seen your aunt?"
Ke Qing lowered her eyebrows and bowed and replied:
"I saw it, my aunt is still with the old lady.
The old lady is happy today. I shouldn’t have left so early. It was because I felt a little unsatisfied, so I took a leave of absence from the old lady.”
Jia Rong on the side kept looking down at the toes of her shoes, but Jia Zhen immediately answered:
"That's how she is. She was dizzy early in the morning, but she refused to say it. If the old lady hadn't noticed that she looked bad just now, she would have just tolerated it, for fear of spoiling the interest of others." p>
Jia Lian could see that Qin Keqing's head was lower and thought:
Even a blind person can see that Jia Zhen really cares more about her daughter-in-law than his son does.
.
After bidding farewell to Jia Zhen and the others, Jia Lian walked into Jia Mu's courtyard.
When they came to the corridor, they could hear laughter and chatter in the room. Seeing that the maid was about to go in, Jia Lian made a silent gesture towards her.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled, then gently opened the curtain and let Jia Lian in.
I could only hear Wang Xifeng laughing loudly:
"It can be seen that the old lady is partial. She seems to like Brother Rong's daughter-in-law every time she sees her.
The few glasses of wine I just had turned into vinegar in my stomach, which made me so sour. I just wished I couldn’t give birth to a child as lovely as Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law.
If I had known it earlier, I should have begged the King of Hell more when I was giving birth to a child, and begged him to give me 10% or 20% of the good looks of Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law. In this way, my ancestors would be willing to love me 10% or 20% more.
, then I will be very lucky."
Jia Mu also smiled and said: "You are the one who is so naughty! You have to compete for the best in everything. There is no one who is not favored for a while."
Sister Feng chuckled and said:
"Oh, I'd rather not fight for favor, but who calls me incompetent?
My knowledge is shallow, my words are stupid, and my heart is straightforward. I only want to make the old lady happy. As long as I can eat an extra bowl of rice, I don't care what the old lady thinks of me, a monkey trick.
What's more, I am timid and have little experience. I am afraid of the old lady every day, and she will look down on me. I am so scared that I can't even sleep.
The old lady just likes beautiful children. When she saw Brother Rong’s daughter-in-law, she immediately disliked my burnt paper."
Jia Mu laughed loudly:
"Monkey, you are called a 'silly arrogant and cowardly'. I'm afraid you are too smart and won't be able to catch you when you run up a tree.
If you are really a burnt paper, I don’t mind you, it depends on Lian Er.”
Jia Lian heard this at the right time and said with a smile:
"She is a 'burnt roll', and I am a 'burnt sesame seed cake'. It happens that no one wants a pair of them, so I have to rely on the old lady."
When Jia Mu saw Jia Lian coming in, she smiled even more:
"Just as I was talking about you, you came running over, obviously you were listening to me."
Mother Jia originally liked to talk and laugh, but when she saw the beautiful pair of grandchildren and grandsons in front of her, she fell in love even more.
"I haven't seen you these days. I was just about to ask someone to bring you in for questioning.
Baoyu went to "Shuixian Temple" today. Seeing that the plum blossoms were blooming luxuriantly there, he brought back a large branch of red plums for my wife and me.
When I was happy, I asked them to take out a jar of excellent Huiquan wine that I had saved there. I asked Brother Feng to call you. Your wife said that you had gone out. When I asked her where you were, she said she didn't know.
.
Lian Er, I want to ask you, where did you go to dig into the sand?"
Jia Lian paid tribute to Jia Mu, took out a plate of half-baked sesame seed cakes from Zhaoer's food box, and said with a smile:
"The old lady said that my grandson heard about the wall here, and he didn't dare to argue.
But this thing in the grandson's hand is really a 'burnt sesame cake'. Does the grandson have the magical power of the grandson? Can he actually pull out a hair and make it?
I am not as elegant as Brother Bao, and I cannot find plum blossoms to honor the old lady. However, during my trip to Suzhou, I learned the art of pasting sesame cakes. Although the skill is not very decent, it is at least a little bit of my grandson's heart."
As he spoke, he held the plate of sesame cakes in front of Jia Mu:
"No matter how ugly this sesame seed cake looks, the old lady took a small bite of it as a compliment to her grandson."
When Mother Jia saw the plate of sesame cakes, they were all neither round nor square, and the shapes were indescribably weird. They were baked too high and most of them were burnt brown. She imagined that her fingers would never touch even a drop of Yang Chun Shui.
My grandson actually clumsily made sesame seed cakes and brought them to me. He couldn’t help laughing:
"Your wife said she looks like a 'burnt paper', but I've never seen that before.
But now I see your ‘burnt sesame seed cake’, it’s really ugly.”
He reached out and picked up a sesame seed cake on the top, looked at it, and laughed:
"Now, I have become the person that your wife just said has "little knowledge".
After decades of age, I only thought that "shaobings in the world are as round as any other", but I have never seen such biscuits that look so straight and sharp.
I was forced to look left and right, and after looking at it for a long time, I couldn’t describe what shape it looked like.”
It made everyone laugh.
Jia Mu laughed so hard that she held up the sesame cake in one hand and pointed at Jia Lian with the other hand:
"Now, I am also the one your wife calls 'cowardly'.
You sesame seed cake, you tell me to look left and right, but you don’t dare to put it in your mouth."
Everyone couldn’t stop laughing.
Suddenly I heard Wang Xifeng say loudly:
"Old ancestor, you can't eat this sesame seed cake!"
