dream of red mansion

Chapter 406 Reappearance of the Imperial Decree
"Ahem, that... Sister Bao, I really didn't know that you have such a brilliant soup cooking technique. I didn't intend to offend you. I hope you have a lot of elder sisters. Don't be as knowledgeable as my brother..."

In the end, Jia Qing still felt that he had to face the reality, raised his head, and said embarrassingly.

In fact, the few small pieces of meat in the bowl are finished, and it is inevitable...

"It's not a clever technique at all, but it's just a trick in my spare time, which made brother Qing laugh."

Xue Baochai laughed, avoiding Jia Qing's unintentional remarks just now.

In this case, Jia Qing himself would not be able to show such a shy attitude, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao is too modest. Sister Bao can secretly make such a delicacy by playing around like this. If you make it deliberately, I'm afraid It's Sister Yun who will live here often in the future."

Shi Xiangyun said: "Don't just talk about me, you are not much better."

Tanchun also smiled and said: "I heard from Sister-in-law You that the second elder brother is also very particular about grilled meat, especially grilled fish, but he has never tasted it. Later, when he went to the second elder brother's side, he also vaguely heard about your house. The maids in the village have said it, and it seems to be true.

Today, the second elder brother tasted Sister Bao's craftsmanship, when will he give us Lulu, and let Sister Bao and us see it? "

Xue Baochai was very surprised when he heard this.Since the children of everyone, there are very few people who are willing to go to the kitchen.Not to mention men, even women are like this.She herself read two cookbooks just because of occasional interest, and then tried a few times with her own hands.However, it is used to pass leisure and serve relatives, and never shows it to outsiders.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qing could also be good at puppets?Didn't it mean that a gentleman who cultivates virtue (the virtue of being fond of life) should be a cook far away?
Jia Qing didn't know that Xue Baochai had doubts because of the fact that he had been in the kitchen. He just smiled and said: "My skills are just trivial, how dare I compare with Sister Bao's heavenly skills? But if there is a chance, I will I can show my sisters a hand, but don't think it's unpalatable when the time comes, then I won't follow."

Jia Baoyu was a person who said that the wind is the rain, so he quickly suggested: "Why don't you grill two fish for us to taste..."

Seeing Jia Baoyu "difficult" Jia Qing, Daiyu said:
"I said you should calm down. It's Sister Bao's birthday today, and you're so excited about this and that. Be careful that Sister Bao is annoyed at you."

Jia Baoyu glanced at Xue Baochai, and stopped talking.

Xue Baochai said: "There is nothing to worry about. However, today there is no grill set up, and there is no fresh fish suitable for grilling. It would be too much work to tease those guys just because of this idea." It's boring.

Why don't we wait until the day when brother Qing is free, we have all kinds of utensils ready, and then ask him to show his skills to satisfy our gluttony. "

As soon as Baochai finished speaking, Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Bao is right. We'd better wait for everyone to get together one day, and then finish this matter, and enjoy it for a day. That's the best way."

Jia Baoyu followed the good advice and thought it was reasonable, so he also nodded.

The play was still going on, everyone ate the dishes and drank the soup, and of course the wine was indispensable.Since it was Xue Baochai's birthday, it was inevitable that all the sisters would offer her a toast, and she drank carefully...

In the entire backyard of Xue's family, there were red flowers, willows and green flowers, and only Jia Qing and Jia Baoyu were men.This kind of scene is Jia Baoyu's favorite, taking advantage of the scene, toasting and having fun...

Because Jia Qing had already made a mistake once, he couldn't be too careless, so he simply let Jia Baoyu become the protagonist here, and he just sat silently, ate wine and rewarded the servant girl...

Suddenly, Jia Qing caught a glimpse of a woman rushing in in a hurry, destroying his visual picture.

"Mrs... Ma'am, Qing...Second Master's servant came here to send a message to tell Qing...Second Master to go back quickly..."

The mother-in-law walked straight to Aunt Xue and said hurriedly.

Aunt Xue couldn't help being suspicious when she saw it, and said, "What did you say?"

The mother-in-law said: "It is said that the eunuch from the palace has come, and now he is already in Ningguo Mansion."

Now, not to mention the neighbors, Mother Jia was the first to change her face.

Naturally, Aunt Xue also heard about Jia Qing's removal from office, she couldn't help feeling upset, and reluctantly asked, "Did you tell me what happened specifically?"

"No."

Mother Jia was obviously in a state of confusion, struggling to get up, Yuanyang and Mrs. Wang who had been serving beside him hurriedly supported him, and then Mother Jia used her strength to stand up.But he immediately looked at Jia Qing.

At this time, Jia Qing also frowned.But he didn't think about it too much, seeing the clearly visible worried eyes in the sisters' eyes, Jia Qing's heart warmed up.

"Brother Qing, hurry back and see what's going on, remember to send someone back to me!"

When Jiamu got up, everyone stood up one after another, not daring to sit still.Jia Qing also stood up, looking at the worry and fear in Jia's mother's eyes, Jia Qing thought for a while, and said: "Okay, grandson will go back now. Don't worry about the old ancestor, grandson assures you, it is definitely not a bad thing."

Seeing that such words were not convincing, Jia Qing said again: "The old ancestor may have forgotten that his grandson's teacher is Mr. Fang Ge. If there is really something bad, he has no reason not to know it at all. Besides, our family does not tell old stories. All over the court and the public, but there are so many people who hold high positions in the court, just like the prince of Beijing Jing, if something really happens, it is impossible to keep it secret.

Taking a step back, isn't there a big sister in our family? "

After hearing this last sentence, Mother Jia felt a little relieved and said, "I see, you can go now."

"Yes."

Then Jia Qing stopped talking, just nodded to everyone in the field, and walked out quickly.

At this time, Aunt Xue had already ordered people to stop the tricks, and surrounded Jiamu with Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang persuaded: "Old lady, don't worry too much. Brother Qing is right. Our family still has Yuan Chun, so nothing serious will happen."

Jia Mu just listened and said nothing.Not to mention that she is most afraid of these things by nature, the key point is that Jia Qing was dismissed from office yesterday, and an angel descended today, no matter how you look at it, it is the most likely sign of accidents.
Mother Jia thought about it for a while, and seeing that everyone was standing there, she finally said, "Sit down, auntie, please sit down."

Seeing that everyone refused to sit down, she had no choice but to sit down first, and then everyone dared to sit down.

Wang Xifeng was the best at observing words and expressions, and knew that Jia's mother was concerned about outside affairs, so she called Ping'er over and said, "Go back and ask some old women to wait in the mansion over there. Then find Second Master Lian and let him Send a few more housekeepers over there, and come back as soon as possible if there is anything to do."

Ping'er bowed his knees and gave a blessing, and then led the two little maids to go.

In this way, Mother Jia was relieved a lot.

Even so, the scene was no longer as harmonious as before, and everyone just sat quietly without saying a word.
