After sitting in Xue Baochai's Hengwu Courtyard for a while, everyone left. Then, everyone came to Zhujin Pavilion again.
The place has been neatly furnished, with two couches placed on the left and right, both covered with brocade rong mat. In front of each couch, there are two lacquered tables, some of which are crabapple style, plum blossom style, lotus leaf style, sunflower style, square, round, etc. The styles are different.
There is a stove bottle on top of one and a storage box on the other. On the two couches and four tables above, Jia Mu and Aunt Xue were sitting respectively, and the rest were sitting on one chair and one table.
Grandma Liu took the first place in the east, and below Grandma Liu were Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.
Shi Xiangyun was the first to sit in the west, Xue Baochai was the second, Lin Daiyu was the third, Yingchun was the fourth, Tanchun and Xichun sat below in turn, and Jia Cong sat at the end.
Youshi, Li Wan, Sister Feng and others are located in the third-story sill and outside the second-story gauze kitchen. The style of the storage box also follows the style of the box.
Each person has a black silver foreign chisel self-pouring pot and a brocade enamel cup. After everyone was seated, Jia Mu said, "Let's have two drinks first, and make an order today to make it interesting." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Old lady, of course she has a good order for wine, how can we do it?" We're drunk, so let's just have two more cups." Jia Mu smiled and said, "My aunt has become too modest today. She thinks she hates me for getting old." Aunt Xue said with a smile, "It's not modest, I'm afraid it won't work." Come on, it's a joke." Mrs. Wang smiled hurriedly and said: "I can't tell you. I just drank one more glass of wine and went to bed drunk. Who else can't laugh at us?" Aunt Xue nodded and smiled: "As ordered, old lady What's better is a glass of wine." Jia Mu smiled and said, "Of course." She picked up the wine glass and drank a glass.
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Now that the order has been issued, it would be better to ask Sister Yuanyang to do it." Everyone knows that Yuanyang must carry the order given by Jia Mu. Even though Yuanyang is Jia Cong's person now, she will still be able to do it as long as Jia Mu needs it. He called her over. No one else could compare to Yuanyang on this point.
In response, Yuanyang did not refuse and stood up directly. Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Since you are in the order, there is no reason to stand. Bring a chair and put it on the table of your two grandmothers." Yuanyang half-heartedly accepted it, thanked him, sat down, and ate. After a glass of wine, Fang smiled and said: "The drinking order is as big as the military order. No matter whether you are high or low, I am the master. If you violate my words, you will be punished." Everyone laughed and said: "It must be so, hurry up and say it." Yuanyang had not yet After speaking, Grandma Liu stood up and left the table, waving her hands and saying: "Don't tease people like this, I'm going to my house." Although he was just a pariah, there was nothing wrong with putting down his face and cooperating with others to please the old lady.
However, being teased endlessly one after another made me feel a little conflicted. As soon as she heard that she was going to have a drinking order, she knew that this was not a simple matter, and it was not something that an illiterate old woman like her could handle.
There are also people who guess the rules of drinking in the countryside, but most of them are simple and vulgar, obviously different from the way these people play.
If you stay here by yourself, wouldn't it be embarrassing and letting others make fun of you? Yuanyang laughed and said, "But that's not possible. Grandma really can't tell. I'll just fine you a glass of wine." Seeing that Grandma Liu was still hesitant, Yuanyang ordered the little girls to say: "Hurry up to the banquet and don't let her run away." The little girls laughed and rushed up to pull Grandma Liu into the banquet.
Grandma Liu repeatedly begged for mercy: "Good girl, just spare me." Yuanyang said with a straight face: "If you talk more, I will punish you with a pot." Seeing that she couldn't escape, Grandma Liu had no choice but to accept her fate and sat back obediently. .
He thought to himself: "The worst is to get drunk. As long as everyone is happy, this trip to Jia's house will be considered a success." Seeing everyone sitting down, Yuanyang said: "Now I say dominoes, from the old man Let’s start with the wife, and lead them down to Mr. Liu. For example, if I say a deck, I will take apart these three cards, say the first one first, then the second card, and after that, combine the name of the pair, no matter what Poems, songs, idioms and sayings all have the same rhyme as the previous sentence. If you get it wrong, you will be punished with a drink." Everyone laughed and said, "This is a good order. Say it quickly." Yuanyang said: "I have a pair. On the left is Zhang Heaven." Jia Mu said: "There is a blue sky above my head." Yuanyang said: "There is a five-in-one and six-in-one in the middle." Jia Mu said: "The fragrance of plum blossoms in the six bridges penetrates my bones." Yuanyang said: "Is there a Liuhe left?" Mother said: "A red sun rises in the sky." Yuanyang said: "It turns out to be a 'puff-headed ghost'." Mother Jia said: "This ghost hugs Zhong Kui's legs." After saying this, everyone laughed and cheered. Mother Jia After a drink, Aunt Xue was next.
Yuanyang said again: "There is another pair, the one on the left is a big five." Aunt Xue said: "The plum blossoms are dancing in the wind." Yuanyang said: "There is a big five on the right." Aunt Xue said: "Plum Blossom Ridge in October Incense." Yuanyang said: "Twenty-five of them are miscellaneous seven." Aunt Xue said: "Weaver Girl and Cowherd will celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day." Yuanyang said: "It makes 'Er Lang Tours the Five Mountains'." Aunt Xue said: "The world's people are not as happy as the gods. ." After saying that, everyone praised her, Aunt Xue also drank, and then continued, this time it was Shi Xiangyun's turn.
Yuanyang said again: "I have a pair. What are the two points on the left side?" Shi Xiangyun said: "The sun and moon are hanging double to illuminate the universe." Yuanyang said: "What are the two points on the right side?" Shi Xiangyun said: "The idle flowers fell to the ground. Listen to the silence." Yuanyang said: "Why do we have to come in the middle?" Shi Xiangyun said: "Red apricots are planted against the clouds by the sun." Yuanyang said: "To make a 'nine-ripe cherry'." Shi Xiangyun said: "But the imperial garden is It was carried out by the bird." After saying that, Shi Xiangyun also took a drink, and then it was Xue Baochai's turn.
Yuanyang said: "There is another pair, the one on the left is Chang San." Xue Baochai said: "Pairs of swallows are talking between the beams." Yuanyang said: "On the right is San Chang." Xue Baochai said: "The water lilies carry the wind and the green belt grows. "Yuanyang said: "Three, six or nine o'clock are there." Xue Baochai said: "Three mountains are halfway down to the blue sky." Yuanyang said: "Piece together the 'Iron Locked Boat'." Xue Baochai said: "Everywhere is troubled and sad." After finishing speaking, Xue Baochai also picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised his head and drank, and then it was Lin Daiyu's turn.
Yuanyang said again: "There is a sky on the left." Lin Daiyu said: "There is no sky for beautiful scenery in good times." After hearing this, Baochai looked back at her. Daiyu was only afraid of punishment and did not argue.
Yuanyang said: "The color of the brocade screen in the middle is pretty." Lin Daiyu said: "There is no matchmaker's newspaper on the screen window." Yuanyang said: "There are only 268 points left." Lin Daiyu said: "Look at the jade seat to lead the court ceremony." Yuanyang said: "Make a 'basket' to pick flowers." Lin Daiyu said: "Pick peony flowers with the fragrance of fairy sticks." After saying that, she also picked up the wine glass and took a sip, looking at Jia Cong and smiling.
Jia Cong shook his head. He even used words from The West Chamber. He was so careless. Fortunately, he didn't recognize much of it.
That is to say, Xue Baochai heard it, and the others probably didn't notice it, or they heard it, but pretended not to hear it.
Yuanyang continued to give orders, one after another. Some passed the test smoothly, while others were fined with alcohol. Soon, it was Grandma Liu's turn.
Grandma Liu said: "When we bankers are free, a few people often do this, but it doesn't sound so good. I have to try it too." Everyone laughed and said: "It's easy, just say it, it doesn't matter." Yuanyang smiled and said: "Yes, the senior on the left is a person." After hearing this, Grandma Liu thought for a long time and said, "He is a banker." After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Jia Mu smiled and said: "That's good, that's what I said." Grandma Liu also smiled and said: "We Zhuang people are just ready-made, girls and sisters, don't laugh." Yuanyang said: "Three or four green in the middle with red. "Grandma Liu said again: "The fire burned the caterpillars." Everyone laughed and said: "This is true, and it tells you about your true character." Yuanyang laughed and said: "The one on the right is really beautiful." Grandma Liu said: "A carrot. A head of garlic." After hearing this, everyone laughed again.
Yuanyang smiled and said: "If you put it together, it will be a 'flower'." Grandma Liu gestured with her hands and was about to laugh, but she held on and said, "When the flowers fall, they become a big Japanese melon." After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh. 's laughed again.
······Everyone drank and ordered, and rested for a while. Under the leadership of Jia Mu, we wandered around the Grand View Garden again.
In places like Yihongyuan and Cucui'an, you can admire the landscapes and courtyards everywhere, rest for a while, play for a while, eat and drink for a while, and time will pass by slowly.
In a blink of an eye, it was evening. When everyone arrived at Daoxiang Village, they had dinner there.
Although Jia Mu was very happy after a day of playing, she was old and felt lazy and a little tired. She didn't eat, so she took a bamboo chair and a small open sedan and went back to her room to rest.
Order Sister Feng to take everyone to stay for dinner and leave her alone. After dinner, everyone was tired. They sat for a while and then dispersed.
Grandma Liu has been here for two days. The purpose of her trip has been achieved and it is time to go back. Then he went to Wang Xifeng and said goodbye to her, preparing to go home tomorrow.
Grandma Liu said: "I will definitely go home early tomorrow morning. Although I stayed here for two or three days, which is not a long time, I have experienced everything I have never seen, eaten, or heard in the past. It is really a great experience." It's rare that the old lady, my aunts, the young ladies, and even the girls in each room take care of me with such pity and care for the elderly. I have no other repayment when I go back, but I can only buy you some incense and recite Buddha's name to you every day. , I wish you a long life, count it as my heart." Sister Feng said with a smile: "The old lady is happy today, because you are here, and you can ask everyone to stroll around, and you can almost visit most of the garden. Usually, I also went to the garden for a walk, but I just sat in one or two places and then came back." Then he said to Feng'er: "I'm afraid I won't be free tomorrow. You are free now to pack the things for grandma. She obviously It's easier for me to leave early in the morning." Grandma Liu said, "I don't dare to spend more money. I've been bothering you for a few days, and I took it away again, which made me feel more and more uneasy." Sister Feng said with a smile, "It's nothing, just casual. Bring the common things, good or bad, with you. Your neighbors will see more excitement, and you can also go to the city." Feng'er took Grandma Liu to the room next to her and pointed to a large pile of Introduce them to her one by one.
"Grandma, this is the piece of green yarn you asked for yesterday. Grandma will also give you a piece of solid white yarn to make the lining. These are two pieces of cocoon silk, which are good for making coats and skirts. There are two pieces of silk in this bag. Make some clothes to wear. This is a box of various homemade pastries, some of which you have eaten, some of which have not been eaten. It is better to put it on a plate to entertain people than to buy it. These two pockets are for you The bag that contained fruits yesterday now contains two buckets of Japanese rice, which is rare for making porridge. This bag contains fruits from the garden and various dried fruits. This bag is worth twenty taels of silver. These are all from our grandma. Yes. These two packages are fifty taels each, totaling one hundred taels. They were given by my wife. I asked you to take them and start a small business or buy a few acres of land. Don’t ask for help from relatives or friends in the future." Say a word to my son, and Grandma Liu will read a sentence
"Amitabha", I don't know how many times I recited it. Seeing that I got so many things this time, I was very happy. When I go back this time, life at home will get better.
After once again thanking Sister Feng profusely, he followed the maid to Jia Mu's place to rest. Early the next morning, Grandma Liu went to Jia Mu to say goodbye.
Jia Mu said something
"Come back later", he asked Hu Bo to take Grandma Liu out. When they arrived at the lower room, Yuanyang pointed to a bundle on the kang and said: "These are some of the old lady's clothes. They are all filial piety worn by everyone on birthdays and festivals in previous years. The old lady never wears clothes made by others, so it would be a pity to keep them." , but I have never worn it once. Yesterday I asked me to bring out two sets for you to take with you, either as a gift or to wear at home. In this box are the noodles you want, and in this bag are you The medicines mentioned by Qian'er include plum blossom tongue pills, purple gold tablets, Huoluo pills, and birth-promoting and life-saving pills. Each one is wrapped in a prescription, and it is always packed inside. These are two purses, just take them with you for fun. "As he said that, he opened the tie again and took out two
The "pen ingot Ruyi" came to show her. When Grandma Liu saw this, she thanked him profusely. She came to Wang Xifeng's yard with her things. When she saw that everything had been loaded into the car for her, she was about to leave.
At this time, Yuanyang walked in, followed by two little maids, each holding a package in their hands.
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Grandma is leaving now. It's a coincidence that I came here. This is a little wish from our father-in-law. This bag contains one hundred taels of silver and some unworn clothes. In the past few years, we I'm busy practicing martial arts, so I haven't had a chance to wear the clothes I made for him. They are all brand new, so take them back for Ban'er to wear. There are several batches of cloth in this bag, take them back and keep them for making clothes." Grandma Liu Seeing this, I was naturally very grateful.
"Where did you start talking about this? In which life did I cultivate, and I am like this today. I have to go and kowtow to the Duke." Yuanyang said with a smile: "The Duke said there is no need to go, and he told you to go back well. Live your life." Wang Xifeng also said: "Since it was given by Brother Cong, just accept it with peace of mind and come back when you have time." Grandma Liu and Ban'er went out of the second door and followed Zhou Rui's family out of Rongguo Mansion. Grandma and grandson were very happy. He drove to his home.
