dream of red mansion

Chapter 231 Strange Flowers
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Rongguo Mansion was in full swing.Since Jia Mu brought out the best sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums from her flower hall, and asked Wang Xifeng to bring out some big red lanterns that had been made earlier, and asked them to guess lantern riddles, the sisters' emotions were aroused.

Jia's mother is very generous, and she will give all the prizes to the lantern riddles put up by the sisters.For those who want to eat and play, as long as they answer one question, they can receive a gift from her.

Therefore, all the sisters and Jia Baoyu got a lot of gadgets from Jia Baoyu.

Even Xichun answered one question and got a pig made of clay.

Later, Mother Jia came out of the game and came up with two lantern riddles, asking Aunt Xue and others to guess.Aunt Xue is a hot scene, after guessing Jia Mu's lantern riddles, she also came up with two answers for the sisters to guess... With the participation of the elders, the scene became more lively.

After a short while, Jia Mu was laughing in a pause, and happened to see Zhou Rui's family who came in to answer Wang Xifeng, so she said, "Have you invited me over?"

At this time, Wang Xifeng had already heard Zhou Rui's family's reply, and said:
"Hey, old ancestor. I'll tell you, you must come as soon as you call!

Zizi, not only did they want to come, but they also brought the whole family here, saying that they wanted to beg for your old wine!Old Ancestor, you have to prepare enough wine, or you won't be able to drink enough! "

Jia Mu said happily, "So, Brother Rong, his daughter-in-law and the others are all coming?"

"That's right, I heard that your old man called him, and the second younger brother didn't say anything, but with a wave of his hand, he would have brought the whole family here. If it weren't for bringing flowers to the ancestors, I'm afraid it would be the same at this moment." It's here."

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, the sisters were overjoyed.Jia's mother was also happy and said, "It's so good! Feng girl, please arrange a few places for me."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "It's just to make arrangements. It's just that I want to return to your old words, so it's delayed. Now I'm urging me again..."

Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "You are right."

On the top of the willows on the moon, the people of Ningguo went to Rongguo Mansion in the face of the bright moonlight.

Since Jia Qing decided to go to the Rongguo Mansion for a banquet, the You and Qin families had nothing to do.Jia Rong didn't want to move. Under Jia Qing's firm attitude, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow the car to Rongguo Mansion.

Entering Rongguo Mansion, one can only see red lanterns hanging everywhere, and there are night watch ladies walking around everywhere, which is much more lively than Ningguo Mansion.

There had long been the women in charge of the Rongguo Mansion waiting at various main roads, leading Jia Qing all the way to the banquet location.

After passing the last door, I looked up and saw Jia Zheng and Jia She sitting in front of me, with Jia Lian, Xue Pan and others sitting on both sides.

Jia Rong asked Jia Qing to resign, and went over there to find a seat to sit down.Jia Qing didn't stay, Wei Wei saluted Jia Zheng who was looking at him, and went behind the screen.

"The grandson has met the ancestor."

When you arrive in the court, greet Jia Mu first.Seeing her nodding with a smile, she led the crowd to greet Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, and finally said:
"I've long thought that my ancestors will hold a banquet tonight. It's a pity that there are a lot of trivial matters entangled today, which delays the time for my grandson to come and have fun.

Luckily, they rushed fast and finally caught up with this last stubble.I see, everyone is still there. "

Jia Mu said with a smile: "I'm waiting for you, don't hurry to sit down, just talk there."

Jia Qing looked around and found a seat closer to the sisters.Qin Shi and You Shi also blessed each other, and then took their seats.

After Jia Qing sat down, he looked at the high-quality fruits and side dishes on the table, didn't care to talk to the people next to him, reached out and grabbed two big red apples, and started to eat them.

Occasionally, he put down the apple again, and ate the wine and the vegetables.

After a long while, he found someone was looking at him, and when he looked up, he realized that at least seven or eight pairs of eyes were staring at him.

"Ahem, I have a lot of things to do today, and I didn't have time to eat, I'm a little hungry..."

Jia Qing explained embarrassingly.

Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and others all laughed and said nothing, they were used to Jia Qing's informality when eating.

The relieved expression of Xue Baochai on the left indicates that she is slowly accepting.

Aunt Xue thought to herself: This child is really unique, and now that his status is getting more and more distinguished, he is still so reckless...

In the past, I have heard of such people. Those people are either vulgar people who do not understand etiquette, or real celebrities who return to the basics and are out of the ordinary.

The child in front of him is obviously not the former.The latter, also less like...

All I can say is, very personal.

Aunt Xue thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't decide on Jia Qing's sex, so she could only use "personality" to describe it.

Mother Jia also watched Jia Qing for a long time.

This grandson is different from all his grandchildren!Not to mention the fact that he inherited the title at a young age.Looking at his appearance alone, he was also a handsome young man with a dignified appearance and a personable demeanor that fit her aesthetics.

Although what he did at this time has nothing to do with the term noble son.The strange thing is that she didn't show any disgust at all!
Because Jia Qing has never lost his manners in front of her.He always seems to be able to quickly change his style of doing things so that he can best adapt to the environment.

Suppressing these complicated thoughts, Mother Jia took advantage of Jia Qing's explanation and said: "You just eat and eat by yourself, and your sisters are still waiting to see what you brought over!
Did you forget? "

Jia Qing casually took the handkerchief that Xichun handed him, wiped his mouth, and said:
"I don't dare to forget this, it's all ready."

Saying that, she winked at Xie Luan and Pei Feng who were standing on the side, and she immediately went down, and after a while, she brought in two pots of flowers with a few women from Ningguo Mansion.

"So lovely!"

This was an involuntary voice from among the maids, which directly proved that Jia Qing's two potted flowers looked good.

Since most of the sisters had met in advance, they just looked at silently at this time and did not speak.

Jia Mu waited for someone she had never seen before, but she frowned and looked closely.Jia's mother even took a high school under the service of Yuanyang.

"Brother Qing, why do your flowers look like this?"

After getting off the high table, Mother Jia carefully looked at the two pots of flowers, one pot of osmanthus and the other pot of chrysanthemums.

Needless to say, the degree of vividness and neatness is similar to hers, but this color...

It turned out to be a plant with flowers of different colors, or even the same flower with different colors.Out of curiosity, he couldn't help asking.

Mother Jia left her seat, and others surrounded her.

Jia Baoyu said: "I know my ancestors, this is the practice of grafting flower branches, and grafting flowers of different varieties to one plant, so there are so many colors."

Mother Jia looked at Jia Qing, who smiled and said nothing.Seeing this, Mother Jia ordered someone to bring the candle closer and looked carefully.

"Yes, this sweet-scented osmanthus is indeed grafted, and there are still traces on the slender branches. It's just that this pot of chrysanthemums is really weird, and it doesn't look like it has been grafted."

After a long time, Mother Jia expressed her conclusion.

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu stepped forward to take a closer look again.Indeed, as Jia Mu said, when you remove the branches and leaves and look closely, there is indeed no trace of grafting on the branches of these chrysanthemums, and they are very complete.

However, it has produced many different flowers.

Others also stepped forward to investigate, but in the end, they couldn't tell the reason, so they had to look at Jia Qing and ask him to clarify his doubts.

Jia Qing smiled slightly and said:

"My ancestors are right. This chrysanthemum is indeed not grafted. It is a complete chrysanthemum."

"complete?"

Jia Mu and others expressed their incomprehension, and there were many discussions.

Xue Baochai said: "There are many exotic flowers in the world, but most of them grow in remote places with extremely bad environment.

And, it's just a little weird.Brother Qing's pot not only bears four colors in one plant, but also has the same flower and different colors, which is really unheard of.

Tonight, it was an eye-opener! "

Jia Qing secretly praised Xue Baochai for his broad knowledge.To know that extreme environments can change the phenomenon of plant species.

However, the pot he took out tonight was not a genetic mutation caused by simple environmental stimulation, but...
