dream of red mansion

Chapter 161 The Benefits of Wang Xifeng
"Sir, please sit down."

Cuixi took Jia Qing to the next table, there was an empty seat, she made a gesture of invitation, and asked Jia Qing to sit here.

A little girl next to her, about ten or so years old, saw Jia Qing walking towards this side, she quickly leaned to the other side, but she didn't dare to turn her head.

Jia Qing thanked Cuixi, sat down quietly, pretended not to see the behavior of the little girl next to him, and slightly greeted the wives at the table, then said to Tanchun who happened to be sitting at this table:

"Third sister is here too, why don't you see Second Brother Bao and Sister Lin?"

Tanchun smiled naturally, and pouted to the left.Jia Qing followed the direction and looked over, and sure enough, he saw the two wives of King Xing sitting next to each other on the table over there.

Next to Mrs. Xing are Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun, next to Mrs. Wang is Lin Daiyu, followed by Jia Baoyu... but Li Wan is not seen.As for Wang Xifeng, she is not considered a guest, Jia Qing had seen her directing the maids and wives to arrange banquets in the morning.

Xiao Xichun may have been paying attention to Jia Qing, but she couldn't come here in person. Seeing Jia Qing looking over, she immediately returned a bright smile.

Jia Qing also smiled at Xichun and looked away.Looking at Tanchun sitting here alone, I thought, Tanchun is really different, and her independence ranks first among all the sisters in the Jia family.

After talking with Tanchun, Wang Ziteng's wife reminded the Queen Mother that the banquet could begin
Everyone stood up and offered a toast to the Queen Mother, and then, the banquet officially started.

In the whole scene, apart from Jia Baoyu, Jia Qing and a few children, there was no man at all, and the room was full of flowers, flowers, willows and hairpins.

Unlike men, when they get together, they are either drinking or telling dirty jokes. When women gather at a table, they spend all their time talking about their parents, and most of the topics are always about childbearing.

Next to Jia Qing.The little granddaughter Miaoyin in the Queen Mother's mouth is facing the other side from the beginning to the end. Beside her should be her sister-in-law, and she is about to snuggle into her sister-in-law's arms.

What a shy little girl!Jia Qing said in his heart, but he didn't bother to tease her, and let the two of them have a big gap between them, their eyes only stared at the good food on the table, and they ate the good wine in the glass by themselves.Occasionally deal with the flames of war ignited by the women who exchanged fiercely at the two tables.

"Second brother, let's have a drink!"

It was Jia Baoyu who went to offer a toast to the old ladies over there, and turned around to toast his wine.

Jia Qing quickly stood up and said, "I was supposed to toast the second brother Bao."

Jia Baoyu shook his head indifferently, touched Jia Qing, raised his glass and drank it down.It can be seen that the little fat pier has drunk a lot, and his face is flushed.

"A few days ago, I heard that you were injured, and I wanted to come to see you. It's just that my wife didn't allow me to go to school, so I was delayed."

"There's nothing wrong with it."

After drinking, Jia Baoyu didn't leave, but pulled Jia Qing to talk.

"How about it, drinking here is better than drinking with those vulgar people outside?" Jia Baoyu suddenly approached Jia Qing and laughed softly.

Jia Qing was stunned for a moment, always feeling that these words were a bit "cheap".I almost thought it wasn't Jia Baoyu, but Jia Lian.Looking sideways at the intoxicated expression on Jia Baoyu's face, Jia Qing could only sigh with emotion that he was still a man after all.So he also whispered back: "Extremely, extremely."

"Hey, sister Miaoyin is here too, and brother also toasts you!"

After talking with Jia Qing, he took another look at Tanchun, Jia Baoyu was going to leave.But he accidentally discovered that his cousin could not move, immediately filled his wine glass, turned to Miaoyin's side, and warmly invited.

Hehe, it’s okay to drink with me, they are all boys.But now you have a table full of elders who are disrespectful, but you respect your cousin alone, how do you let others think of you?Others will not think that you are one of the fresh and refined ones or your cousin!Jia Qingxin said.

Sure enough, a few people on the table had strange expressions on the spot.It may be that most of them knew or heard of Jia Baoyu, so they didn't open their mouths to run on him for a while.

However, his beloved cousin didn't give face.Shaking her head lightly, seeing Jia Baoyu running to the other side to buy her a drink, she reluctantly turned her head away
This time, it was the first time that Jia Qing saw this cousin Miaoyin positively.

What a fresh and beautiful little loli...

Miaoyin turned her head and saw a handsome smiling face, she was startled.Then she found that the other party was looking at her, she blushed, then couldn't bear the shyness, turned around and buried her head in her sister-in-law's arms.

Seeing Jia Baoyu standing there with a wine glass in embarrassment, the woman holding Miaoyin in her arms said, "Baoyu, your sister Miaoyin doesn't know how to drink, so let me drink this glass for her." , and Jia Baoyu made a gesture, and drank it down in one gulp.

But she didn't pay attention to him anymore, caressing Miaoyin with one hand, and picked up vegetables with the other.
Seeing that Jia Baoyu was still standing there awkwardly, Jia Tanchun got up to help him and said, "Second brother, go back quickly, it's important to take care of your wife."

Only then did Jia Baoyu regain his composure, talked to Tanchun, glanced at Jia Qing again, and staggered back to his seat.

Seeing this, Jia Qing smiled, Jia Baoyu, who is as precious as jade, is not popular everywhere.That's right, Jia Baoyu only cares about the people he likes, and most of the people he likes are girls who have not left the cabinet. So, how can the people he doesn't like see him?

Only the mere Rongguo Mansion would protect him like a moon.

The drums and music in the house kept going, and the sound of toasting and throwing was endless.

Although Jia Qing didn't like the etiquette on the wine table, he finally got up and offered a round of wine to the elders he knew one by one.

After a full hour, the old ladies at the main table stopped chatting.Then the person in charge of the banquet in the palace called everyone to go to the turret behind to watch the play.

The ancient dramas are not attractive to Jia Qing at all.Also, how can people who have experienced colorful TV be interested in dramas that are very low in both expressiveness and appeal?
Pretending to be overwhelmed with alcohol, he didn't get up with everyone.

"Second brother"

Jia Qing raised her head and saw that Yingchun had arrived before her, holding Xichun's hand.Tanchun was still sitting.

"Aren't you going to the theater?"

Jia Qing looked at the crowd who were still moving, and said to Tanchun.

"Second brother didn't leave either?"

"I want to be with my brother."

Tanchun and Xichun said at the same time.

Now Xichun is also seven or eight years old, and she is getting more and more beautiful and lovable.Beckoning at her, Xichun immediately let go of Yingchun's hand, ran to Jia Qing's side, and let Jia Qing pick her up.Then I heard Jia Qing say:

"I don't like watching theater very much. I drank some wine and wanted to go out for a walk to get some air."

Yingchun is in charge of watching Xichun.Xichun was going to come here just now, so she followed.

She herself doesn't know much about drama, so she heard the words: "That's fine."

"Hey, what are you doing here? The ancestor thought of her grandchildren on the way. Only then did he find that several were missing, so he sent me to look for them."

The sisters were discussing where to go, when they saw Wang Xifeng dressed in pink, who looked like a fairy concubine, coming out from the hall behind.Seeing everyone, his eyes lit up and he said loudly.

"Second sister-in-law." Several people greeted each other.

Wang Xifeng asked, "Aren't you going to the theater?"

"It's too hot. After drinking, I don't want to go to a crowded place. I'm discussing with my second and third sisters to go to a cooler place."

Jia Qing laughed.

Wang Xifeng was very understanding, and said after hearing the words: "That's right, it's starting to heat up. I also want to find a place to enjoy the cool, but it's a pity that you are free! How about this, we have a garden in our house, and there is a garden in it. Stream, at this time, it must be two dollars more than other lands.

When I didn't come to your house, I loved to go there every summer.Why don't you just go over there and play tricks? "

Several people's eyes lit up.Jia Qing said: "I never thought that my sister's house would have such a good place to go, that would be great."

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Qing, and said: "Why, is it possible that only your Jia family has good things, and our small family can't enjoy good things?"

"What do you mean by that? I mean, it's no wonder that such a heroic female high school as Second Sister-in-law can be produced. It turns out that there is such a good place! Second Sister-in-law will take us there quickly, so we can see and see."

Wang Xifeng returned a look that you could speak, and said: "I'm not free today, so I'll ask two maids to lead you there. Just a little, pay attention to your body, don't bump into each other, otherwise, you will come When my ancestors blame me, I can't bear it."

"No way, we will take good care of Xiao Xichun and never let her run around"

Xichun, who was put on the ground by Jia Qing, pursed her lips when she heard the words
Wang Xifeng nodded, and called the two maidservants to follow Jia Qing and the others.After explaining a few more words, he turned and went to the back.

Looking at Wang Xifeng's swaying coquettish posture when walking, Jia Qing secretly said: Although Wang Xifeng is a bit cruel to outsiders, she still takes good care of her family.
