Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 103 A happy gathering in Rongguo, a crab feast and Xiangyun’s banter
Chapter 103 A happy gathering in Rongguo, a crab feast and Xiangyun’s banter
In Rongguo Mansion.
"Hahaha!" Lin Daiyu had an endless smile in her eyes, all the way to her red lips, showing her white teeth. She pointed her white little finger at Jia Lan and said: "You are so bad! I guess that academic and political student from Hejian Prefecture has a good face.
I’m going to be swollen by your poem!”
Jia Lan crossed his arms and pretended to be disdainful and said: "Everyone has his own place. If you forget about it, you will be in danger. He himself is ignorant, and the CEO dares to come out and look for trouble in front of him. I will hand this knife to my hand."
Why don’t I still pick up the call?"
Daiyu almost burst out laughing after hearing this. She leaned on the table and just shouted "Hey!"
Being led by her, Miharu and the others burst out laughing, leaning forward and back.
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and looked at the people at home helplessly, but there was a smile in his eyes, and there was infinite nostalgia in his eyes.
How many years has Jia Zheng not seen this scene of a full house laughing?
After some reverie, Jia Zheng lowered his head and looked at the poem in his hand, and couldn't help but shout a few times in his heart.
Good calligraphy and good poetry!
But I saw a poem titled Qijue above:
Look at the strong pines in the dim dusk, and still calmly fly through the chaotic clouds.
There is a fairy cave in the sky, and the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak.
Looking at the poem in his hand, the more Jia Zheng thought about it, the more wonderful it became. After thinking for a while, he simply said goodbye to Jia Mu and went back to the study room in his courtyard to think carefully.
Seeing Jia Zheng leaving, a group of juniors breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the room became more lively. At the same time, they looked at Jia Lan with envy.
They know the reason why the feared Mr. Zheng has become softer recently.
Jia Lan said: "Hejian Xuezheng looked like he wanted to see me embarrassed, but after listening to the poem I read out, he was stunned. His expression was so funny, it looked like it was midsummer.
It was like being thrown into an ice cellar suddenly, and my face was frozen."
A guest at the table was giggling when he suddenly saw Baoyu's lack of interest and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Ai, why does he look so unhappy today? Isn't the chrysanthemum wine brought by Xiangyun good?" "No, it's just..." Baoyu frowned, with a look of amnesia: "It's just that I seem to have forgotten something and can't remember it."
The woman looked at Baoyu with concern: "Is it possible that I'm sleepy? Sister Xiren, why don't you help the second brother go back to rest?"
"No, no, I'm not sleepy. Sister Yun, you don't have to worry about me. It's not a big deal after all."
It turns out that the person next to Baoyu is Shi Xiangyun, the grand-niece of Jia Mu, the eldest daughter of the Shi family, and one of the twelve hairpins.
Because Jia Mu was talking to everyone about how she learned to be a housekeeper before leaving the cabinet, it stirred up memories. Also, it coincided with the joy of Jia Lan's election, so she sent people to the Shijia Mansion to invite Xiang Yun to stay for a while.
Day.
When the nobles in Beijing heard that Jia Lanzhong knew Yuan, they sent people to send congratulatory gifts one after another, which made Jia's mother very happy. Sister Feng on the side also smiled when she heard this.
Among them are not only the family friends of the Four Kings and Six Dukes, but also the newly recruited Marquis of Yongping, Marquis of Ningyuan, Marquis of Jinghai and other military honors. Even the imperial family has sent internal officials to bestow gold. The total of these various things is tens of thousands of taels.
Favor.
Now, in terms of money alone, Rongguo Mansion finally recovered a little.
When Shi Xiangyun came over, he brought a small basket of autumn crabs. When Sister Feng saw it, she simply suggested that Jia Mu eat crabs and drink wine together in the evening.
Mrs. Wang had some thoughts and wanted to invite the Wang cousin, but she didn't want Jia Mu to pretend to be deaf and dumb and not nod, so she had no choice but to give up.
The ancients mostly ate crabs and drank wine outdoors. Your family would decorate the table and enjoy the scenery while drinking. Food, beautiful scenery, and beautiful things are the great joys of life.
It's just that Jia Lan always keeps a low profile. It's okay to have a meal to celebrate, but there is no need to make a big deal.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to cause trouble.
If it were to be a crab feast while enjoying the moon and scenery, it would be unsettling to eat, and you would have to take turns composing poems while eating. It would be really troublesome, but you still have to do it.
Jia Lan thought about the wine shop in the future. If every time he drank a glass of wine, he had to recite a poem. If he couldn't recite it, he would be labeled as uneducated and die in the society. The stock price of that sacred wine would probably be two zeros less. p>
Everyone chatted for a while, and then the servants brought steamed crabs to the table.
Because crabs are cold in nature, Sister Feng ordered: "Bring the wine that is scalding hot." Then she picked up a crab and peeled it for Jia Mu.
Jia Lan took one, picked up the eight pieces of crabs prepared on the table, took them apart one by one, peeled one quickly and handed it to Li Wan: "Mother, eat it while it's hot. It won't be good when it's cold."
Eat."
After saying that, he took the crab in front of Li Wan and peeled it again.
"Okay, okay!" Li Wan took it with a smile on his face and started eating it in small bites.
Everyone stared blankly at Jia Lan's smooth method of peeling crabs.
It takes a lot of effort to peel the crabs, and it is easy for the crabs to be cold by the time they are finished, so Sister Feng told them in advance not to take more, but to serve them one by one.
Jia Lan cooked Li Wan's crabs in the same way, and quickly peeled them off. This time, he still didn't eat them alone, but handed them to Daiyu.
"Aunt Lin, eat it quickly. I made it a little slower and it's a little cold."
Jia Baoyu suddenly stopped: "Sister Lin is weak and can't eat too many crabs. Don't eat this one when it's cold."
Daiyu hurriedly reached out to protect the crab meat in front of her eyes, and glared at Baoyu angrily: "I haven't even eaten yet, and if you touch this bowl, it's obviously still warm."
In order to keep the food warm, there was not only one bowl in front of everyone, but also a holder under the bowl, which contained hot water to warm the ingredients in the bowl. In addition, the family moved quickly, so the crab meat in Daiyu's bowl was indeed still warm. Baoyu's face showed a little surprise and nodded: "It is indeed hot. Sister, please eat it quickly."
Daiyu glanced at Baoyu, not much, just took back the bowl and started eating by herself.
Everyone didn't react for a while. When they came to their senses, their eyes kept moving back and forth between Jia Lan and Daiyu.
Why does this scene of one person peeling crabs and another person eating crabs look so similar?
Just as everyone was in their reverie, they suddenly heard Shi Xiangyun chuckle, biting his tongue a little bit and said angrily to Jia Lan: "Well, Brother Lan, I brought these crabs from home after all my hard work. It's better for you.
Not grateful!"
Shi Xiangyun is outgoing and enthusiastic. He had a good relationship with Jia Lan in the past, so he was still able to joke like this.
Jia Lan smiled when he heard this: "Aunt Xiangyun, what kind of jealousy are you feeling? Who doesn't know that Aunt Lin is my poetry master? I have earned face outside, shouldn't I be filial to my master?"
"That's true!" Although Shi Xiangyun was smart, he was usually straightforward, and he nodded when he heard this.
Sister Feng just finished cooking a crab and said with a sweet smile: "Don't tell me, Langeer's future wife will be really blessed just because of his excellent crab peeling skills!"
"Indeed... Lang Ge'er is very good at reading, and he seems to be someone who knows how to live a good life. From now on, my wife will just enjoy the blessings." Xiangyun nodded again.
Jia Lan rolled his eyes, stood up, took Shi Xiangyun's crab with one hand, and peeled it neatly while saying: "Thank you Aunt Xiangyun for the crab, I will let you enjoy it now, nephew." p>
Jialan peeled off a crab in a few strokes and handed over a plate filled with shredded ginger and red vinegar.
"Not to mention, you still have to dip it in vinegar to eat crabs."
Everyone burst out laughing.
Daiyu on the side was eating, but she didn't know what she was thinking of, and an intoxicating blush gradually appeared on her face.
Jia Baoyu, who was completely robbed of the limelight, looked at Daiyu and felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. She felt that the oily crab had no flavor at all.
