Although Shi Taijun's words were soft, they sounded like Hong Zhong Dalu in everyone's ears, shaking people's hearts and shaking constantly, "Brother Feng'er, have you seen it, the wives all said that you should be in charge." ”

Although Wang Xifeng has a pungent temperament and is good at joking and amusing her, she also knows the severity, knows what occasions can be spoken, what occasions can be sprinkled, and when can she joke, just a few words, Wang Xifeng didn't dare to say half a sentence, just stood quietly on the side and lowered his hands to listen to the instructions, and heard Shi Taijun ask like this, so he stepped forward, "The wives praised me, and the ancestors also gave me face, and I also knew that I was young and ignorant, and many things could not be done, just thinking about the teachings of the wives, Since the ancestor said so to his face, I can only grit my teeth and bear this burden, and just ask the ancestors and their wives to teach me everything. ”

"I'm relieved when you say this," Jia Mu said with a smile, "If there are some decent minions at the bottom, relying on their old age, dare not respect you, you are embarrassed to put the master's score, then come to me again, and the rest of the matter, you can't come to trouble me, my aunt is also here, she can just be a witness." ”

Aunt Xue is a million unwilling to be this witness, although she doesn't want Xue Pan to ask about the Jia family, but she is not good at asking too much, who is in charge of the family in this family, there is a strange atmosphere, people who don't know the inside story outside, are very strange, first, the eldest son Jia pardons the lord, and now he is the title of a general, but the wife of the head of the Jia Mansion is his sister Mrs. Wang, and secondly, Jia Zhengnai is the second son, but he lives in the main house of Rongxi Hall, Jia Yu instead lives in a partial courtyard on Rongguofu East Road near the outside, thirdly, Jia Lian, whom Wang Xifeng married, is the son of Jia Yu, but he takes care of housework for Jia Zheng's house, and the fourth is that it is not appropriate to be a serious wife now, but she wants to call a granddaughter-in-law to be in charge. Although Aunt Xue still knows some things, she is not willing to be involved in it, but Mother Jia is an elder, and she is not easy to retreat, so she said stubbornly, "Yes, what the old lady said is very true." ”

After finishing the order, Shi Taijun said again, "What about Yu'er?" What about the girls? Where did they go? Hurry up and call them all in, why did they slip away for a while? ”

The mandarin duck was originally waiting behind Shi Taijun, so he hurriedly went out to find someone, and when he got outside, he saw the tortoiseshell preparing to offer tea, so he asked, "Where is my brother and sister?" Where did they all go? The old lady called it. ”

"They're all looking at the tweed outside the door," tortoiseshell laughed.

Xu knew that Jia's mother had to call everyone after the meeting, so the big guys did not disperse, but they looked at the flowers outside the hanging flower door in twos and threes, the twilight was kind, it was already the weather of the fire in July, the twilight together, the mist slowly rose, and the lanterns on the hanging flower door were bright, but the outside was very clear, everyone was young, and among these people, only Li Kun was a little older, and the rest of these men and women were not far apart in age, and their family backgrounds were also very similar, either the Jia family, or the relatives of the Jia family, They are all people who read, and when they come and go, the big guys are all familiar with it, especially Jia Baoyu, seeing another girl so cold and beautiful, and generous, she has long been stupid, "I really don't know how I Jia Baoyu can be, there is such a fairy of heaven and earth around me, it is really sad and gratifying!" ”

So he and Baochai crossed the age again, it happened that Baochai was one year older than Baoyu, Daiyu was one year younger than Baochai, Baochai was twelve this year, Baoyu was eleven years old, and Daiyu was ten years old (sin, sin...... Counting up, Baoyu called Xue Baochai "Sister Bao". In Sanchun, Tanchun and Baoyu have the most tacit understanding, so they talk to Baochai and others, Yingchun is shaking a fan just fluttering fireflies, Daiyu is standing under the flower tree with a handkerchief and thinking quietly, Xichun is just snuggling up to Li Kun, the two of them are talking about themselves, everyone has something to talk about, and they are not completely standing together with each other, what about the rest of the people? Naturally, there is Xue Pan, Xue Daguan sat on the verandah on the side, holding his arms and looking at the ones in front of him, he only hated that there was no wine around him at this time, and he couldn't use this beautiful scenery to drink.

Baoyu and Baochai talked and laughed for a while, then turned their heads to look for Daiyu, and saw Daiyu standing under the flower tree thinking something, so they approached and asked, "What is my sister thinking?" ”

Daiyu was startled and said angrily: "You narrow ghost, but it scared me, aren't you laughing with your sister Bao over there?" Why are you messing with me again! ”

"Good sister," Baoyu said with a smile, "Sister Bao has just arrived, and she always has to be a little particular about hospitality, isn't it that when she saw her talk, she came to you, what are you looking at?" ”

Daiyu didn't look at anything, just thinking about something, and when she saw Baoyu asking, she didn't say it clearly, she just said, "I'm looking at this flower." ”

Baoyu saw that there were more than half a person tall flower trees, there were many large white flowers among the big green leaves, slightly green near the pedicle, the flowers took advantage of the night to bloom enthusiastically, approached and smelled the fragrant fragrance, Baoyu is a rich idler, how to recognize this flower, so he made a fuss and said, "What kind of flower is this, but I don't recognize it!" ”

Several people heard Baoyu calling, and approached together, everyone said they didn't recognize, Baochai recognized, but she didn't say it, just said with everyone that she didn't recognize, "This is a gardenia," a lazy voice sounded, everyone turned around, and saw Xue Pan slowly stand up, stretched his waist and walked to the flower tree, "Liu Yuxi's poem: The color is suspicious of Qiongshu, and the fragrance is like Yujing." It's about gardenias. ”

"In Suzhou, they are all sold with jasmine, and the girls on the street sell them in the nice Wu language: gardenias, jasmine. Jiangnan also calls it 'nose touching', which means that the gardenia is extremely fragrant, and it is contaminated with fragrance when you touch your nose. ”

Hearing Xue Pan's words, he couldn't help but touch the gardenia with his nose, "Sister-in-law," she said in surprise, "It's really fragrant." ”

Everyone gathered around to listen to Xue Pan's words, but put Baoyu aside, especially Daiyu, listening to Xue Pan talk about Suzhou, his expression was leisurely, and he didn't know where to go, at this time Baoyu was a little angry, "It's just such a flower, so fragrant, no character, no wonder I haven't heard it in the past." ”
