It happened that Sister Feng was at Mrs. Wang's place to take stock of the gifts received in the New Year, and heard Jia's mother's instructions, so she accompanied Mrs. Wang and hurriedly came over. Sister Feng made fun of it and said with a smile: "An old ancestor, for the children's birthday, no matter what, who dares to fight?" What kind of banquet will you organize? If you are happy and want to be lively, you can't say that you can spend a few taels of old Curry's body. Sooner or later, we will find out this rotten twenty taels of silver to make the east, which means that we will pay for it! Sure enough, it didn't matter if I couldn't take it out, the round and flat of gold and silver crushed the bottom of the box, just a burden to us. Ancestor, look at it, who is not the son and daughter of your old man? Could it be that in the future, only Brother Bao will be able to top your old man's house on Wutai Mountain? Those things are only for him! Even if we are not worthy, don't be too bitter about us. What about this wine and drama? The room burst into laughter. Jia Mu also smiled: "Listen to this mouth! I can say it, but why can't I say this monkey? Your mother-in-law doesn't dare to force her mouth, you just talk to me, you, me, me! Sister Feng smiled: "My mother-in-law also loves Baoyu the same, and I have nowhere to complain!" Say I'm strong-mouthed! As he spoke, he made Jia Mu laugh for a while. Jia Mu was very happy.

Aunt Xue said with a smile, "The old lady has this heart, and the treasure girl is infinitely useful, where do you really dare to ask the old lady to pay the silver for the treasure girl's birthday?" Pan'er has been prepared, just waiting for the old ladies to appreciate their faces, when to go to the Lixiang Courtyard. ”

Jia Mu didn't allow it, "When Brother Pan came back, we went over to bother us, where can we go again?" Although this Lantern Festival is also a play, in the end it is to serve the mother and the phoenix, thinking that who is also uncomfortable to watch, this is a good day for the treasure girl, it is naturally an opportunity, let's also have our own fun, not called the outside masters. ”

Mother Jia insisted on this, and Aunt Xue could only do it, so Sister Feng went out to prepare, and instructed Ping'er, "Tell your second master to come back, and ask him if you have something!" ”

Jia Lian happened to make an appointment with Caizhou's general judge for tea, changed his clothes and prepared to go out, but was stopped by Sister Feng, who said, "Twenty-one is one."

Sister Xue's birthday, how are you? Jia Lian said: "I know how it is? You've even cooked for your birthdays, and you're out of idea at this point! Sister Feng said: "There are certain rules for big birthdays. Now it's his birthday, it's big and it's not, it's not small, so I'll discuss it with you. Jia Lian listened, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said, "You are confused." The existing proportion, Sister Lin is an example. How did I do it for Sister Lin in previous years, but now I can do it for Sister Xue. Sister Feng sneered when she heard this: "Don't I know this!" That's what I thought, too. But yesterday, I heard the old lady say that when I asked about everyone's age and birthday, I heard that Sister Xue is fifteen years old this year, although it is not a full birthday, it can be regarded as a year. The old lady said that she would make a birthday for him, which was naturally different from what she had done for Sister Lin in previous years. Jia Lian said: "In this way, it will be more than Sister Lin's." Sister Feng said: "I think so too, so I please your tone." I added it privately, and you blame me for not understanding you again. Jia Lian smiled: "Let's go! Cease! I don't accept this empty love. It's enough if you don't check me, and I blame you? Besides, now that there is no shortage of these taels of silver in the family, to make a birthday for the eldest sister, is it difficult to have the external account room to review? You're too careful. With that, he went all the way, no problem.

Everyone was discussing with Jia's mother, but there was no figure of Xue Pan, Aunt Xue smiled, "The matter of Niangniang's coming back is done, and there are still some things in his yamen, so he got up early and went out, saying that he would definitely come back in the afternoon, saying that he was going to organize his sister's birthday, but he didn't expect to be robbed by the old lady." ”

"My brother is a filial child, and he also knows that he feels sorry for his sister," Jia's mother smiled, "Now that he is still on an errand, he is getting better and better." ”

Baoyu remembered Xiangyun, such a lively thing could not be without her, so she asked Jia's mother to pick up someone, Jia's mother nodded, "I was very busy in the first month, I didn't take care of her for a while, and now it's empty, I want to take it over and live at home for a few days. ”

Sure enough, he sent a servant woman to pick it up, and he came back in the afternoon, a few people talked and laughed, Xiangyun especially loves to be lively, this is talking and laughing, but it makes Li Kun feel restless, hearing that day the big guy Fu Shijin dedicated to the virtuous concubine, Xiangyun was very annoyed, "I'm not blessed, such a thing, I haven't encountered it, if I am here, I'm afraid I won't lose to the second brother." ”

Baoyu said with a smile, "I dare to say that I won you, but I have your sister Bao and Sister Lin to guide me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be so cheap," Baoyu told Xiangyun about that day again, Li Kun smiled, "The girl who is partial to Lin is bold, and she dares to do such a substitute under her nose, but fortunately she didn't notice it." ”

Everyone laughed a few words, and the girl on the ground told that Uncle Xue was here, and sure enough, Xue Pan opened the curtain and came in, and saw everyone laughing, "It's all here, it's so lively!" As soon as I got home, I was so happy to hear that the old lady was going to give my sister a banquet, so I came first. ”

Xiangyun got up again and saw Xue Pan, "Sister Yun is also here, excellent, this time it will be lively." ”

Everyone asked Xue Pan how the Yamen was doing, Xue Pan sat down and took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "There is nothing wrong with Zhan Shifu, but it is the New Year, colleagues meet each other to drink tea, just pay a New Year's greeting, nothing matters, but I went to the Terracotta Division again, there are a lot of thefts and fires and other cases during the New Year, I asked a few slightly, but I came back, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." ”

Xiangyun was curious, "I heard people outside say that this soldier and horse division is our Kyoto sitting tiger, I don't know how many shops are stuttering, if Brother Xue gives such an order, I'm afraid it can drive a lot of people?" ”

Baochai smiled, "Brother just went, where is there such power?" Yun girl, you are laughing. ”

In the evening, all of a sudden they were all dispersed, Xue Pan and everyone went out, and specially sent Sanchun and Baoyu Daiyu back, Baoyu was especially happy, thinking about what kind of drama to listen to on Baochai's birthday, one person muttered non-stop, Xue Pan saw that there was no one at this time, and said to Daiyu, "What I gave you this year, have you received it?" ”

Daiyu smiled, "There's no more?" It's just that you are so decent, what are you doing with so many silver tickets, I don't lack silver every day! ”
