Fun Kan Red Chamber 336: Closed the door and locked, Xue Baochao prevented micro-gradually; sat comfortably, Aunt Xue was pampered
Ping'er and Jia Baoyu, Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan had a birthday, and Jia Tanchun pitied her hard work and sent someone to inform Wang Xifeng that she would stay in the garden for a day without calling out to serve, and also to collect money for her birthday.
Everyone gave Ping'er face, Wang Xifeng naturally would not be uninteresting, and joked that it was delicious for Ping'er, don't forget her.
So Jia Tanchun sent someone to pass on the Liu family's coming, and on the other hand, he sent someone to invite Aunt Xue, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochao.
On Jia Baoyu's birthday, the small kitchen does not prepare meals, and the big kitchen outside is responsible for preparing high-level birthday banquets.
Breakfast is mainly for shou noodles. Guests should eat noodles, and the host should also accompany them.
When the Liu family heard that it was Ping'er's birthday, they knew the reason and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to Ping'er.
In ancient times, prostration was the greatest etiquette. Although Ping'er is only a concubine of the house, she is also a concubine of Jia Lian, and she must be an aunt in the future, and she must also be a head of the third-class servant woman Liu Family. Moreover, ping'er had only saved their mother and daughter before exercising power
Of course, Ping'er refused to accept the Liu family's kneeling, and she was also a deacon, so she hurriedly pulled up.
After the Liu family's order, he hurried back to prepare the banquet, without mentioning it.
Here Jia Tanchun accompanied Jia Baoyu and the others to the hall to eat noodles, and soon Li Feng, Bao Chao, Aunt Xue and Dai Yu all came. Flowers crowded a hall of people.
Breakfast is basically like this, birthday is the same as the New Year's Greeting, you come and go to toss a morning can not be idle.
The Liu family prepares a noon banquet, which is different from the meal.
The Jia family has two meals in the morning and evening, and the banquet should be at noon after breakfast, or in the night after dinner. Meals are meals, meals without alcohol. The banquet is entertainment, there is wine and no food!
Who wanted Xue Tadpole to send Jia Baoyu a four-color birthday gift with a scarf and a fan, Jia Baoyu had to go to xue's house to accompany him to eat shou noodles. On that day, it was also Baoqin's birthday, and the two families exchanged birthday wine (banquet), which was also the rule at that time. Jia Baoyu ate the noodles and had to accompany Xue Tadpole to drink two cups, which was a social interaction between boys.
At this time, Xue Baochao took Xue Baoqin out to give Xue Tadpole a salute and accompany him to eat noodles. Xue Tadpole is a brother and Baoqin is a sister. The younger sister's birthday should also be saluted to the brother. Eating noodles together again is a family reunion.
According to the rules, the Xue family should send shou wine to the Jia family's side, and Xue Tadpole must ask the guys in the family to eat the wine table again...
Therefore, the birthday of the ancients, no matter how old they are, as long as the status is high enough, it is a complicated process. It's not like eating a meal and cutting a cake and receiving gifts now is over.
(Sixty-second time) Bao Chaoyin told Xue Tadpole: "There is no need to send the wine at home over there, this false set can be received." You just invite the guys to eat. We and Brother Bao will have to wait for someone to go in, and we can't accompany you anymore. Xue Tadpole said busily, "Sisters and brothers just need to please, but I'm afraid that the guys will be fine." Bao Yu was busy confessing his sins again, and Fang returned with his sister. As soon as he entered the corner door, Bao Chao ordered his mother-in-law to lock the door and ask for the key to be held by himself.
Xue Baochao instructed Xue Tao not to send birthday wine to Jia Fu, because Jia Mu, Lady Wang, and others were not at home. The Jia family manager is vacant, and the Xue family sends wine and then makes a mistake, or loses something and has a dispute. It's the right thing to do.
Back in the Grand View Garden, Xue Baochao locked the small corner door leading to the Xue family, isolating the two families. Jia Baoyu looked puzzled and asked Xue Baochao why he locked the door, and if he opened the corner door, it would be inconvenient to go back to get something.
Xue Baochao told him about the recent chaos in the Jia family, and Jia Baoyu knew that she had heard about the previous farce.
Bao Chao also told him that rose dew and poria cream were only small things, and there were really a few big things that had not come out. If things don't happen, everyone will save their faces, and if they uncover the torn face, it is estimated that many people will be affected. He also told Jia Baoyu to be careful.
Xue Baochao's words were still unfinished, and they should involve the Jia family stewards. Jia Tanchun's housekeeper found the problem. Hindered by the face of the temporary pressure. There will be a bit of pressure behind it, which is not written.
Cao Xueqin borrowed Xue Baochao to lightly expose the big thing, but hinted at the seriousness of the problem, and Ping'er also said that the noise in Yihong Courtyard was a very small matter, but it was known that the big thing was not said.
The Jia family frequently had problems, and Xue Baochao had to let the Xue family avoid suspicion. During the time when Jia Mu and Madame Wang were not at home, the two sides tried to minimize contact, and the small door had to be locked to be stable. This is to avoid danger for the Xue family.
However, Xue Baochao's big picture view was correct. But two core issues are not solved.
First, Baochao's handmaiden warblers, even though the Grand View Garden had already divided the fields into people, still violated the rules of picking flowers and willows, infringing on the interests of the Chunyan girls, which caused a series of problems.
Rose nitrate led to jasmine powder, and Aunt Zhao and FangGuan fought.
Rose dew again led to poria cream, and the kitchenette was in a scramble.
Although behind it is the contradiction of the Jia family, the Xue family is a butterfly that instigates wings, which also indicates that the existence of the Xue family stirs people's hearts and becomes a factor in the instability of the Jia family.
Second, no matter how cautious and careful Xue Baochao was, he could not hide the fact that if they did not live in the Jia family, they would not have to be careful and cautious, and it would not cause the Jia family to be unstable.
When the Xue family first came to the Jia family to "see their relatives", they should leave for at most a year and a half. The Jia family was also happy to welcome them. Whoever wants to live for six years and not leave, who walks relatives to grow up, and who also depends on marrying the master, is simply vulgar and rude.
No matter how cautious and careful Xue Baochao was, it was a fact that the Xue family did not move away. If you want Qiu to move away without committing any crimes, don't you worry!
Therefore, the more careful Xue Baochao was, the more Cao Xueqin satirized the Xue family's rudeness.
The most ridiculous thing is that at this time, Jia Mu and Madame Wang are not there, and no adults in the Jia family are juniors. Aunt Xue seemed to have become the highest-ranking person in the Jia family.
Jia Mu also entrusted her to take care of the Grand View Garden, to take care of Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochao to assist the housekeeper, Xue Baoqin was jia mu's heart tip baby, and the Xue family was in the Jia family's "dove occupying the magpie's nest", which was obviously unreasonable.
Cao Xueqin will of course borrow the topic to play. When Jia Baoyu returned to the luncheon, Aunt Xue proposed that she was "out of place" with young people and wanted to lie down in the hall to let them defecate.
Aunt Xue's well-behaved and well-behaved eyes are naturally no problem. Young people don't want to have old people around, and it is common for people to not let go of play.
Bao Chao said, "That's all, but let my mother be more comfortable in the hall, and send some of her favorite food to the past. And there was no one there, so they could take care of it. Tanchun laughed and said, "Even so, it is better to be respectful than to obey orders." Because everyone sent him to the council chamber, they saw that the servants had laid out a brocade mattress and a pillow on their backs, and so on, and ordered: "Good life to the aunt to beat the legs, want tea and water do not push three or four." Came back and delivered something, and my aunt rewarded you with food when she ate it. Just don't leave here and go out. The little ladies all agreed.
Jia Mu was not there, and everyone was waiting for Aunt Xue like an old lady. A guest who lies in a person's home and is instead served as an old feudal lord is not a counterattack, but a deep irony. There are some "tigers who are not at home and monkeys are called kings".
The more respectful the Jia family was to Aunt Xue, the more it reflected the rudeness of the Xue family's family living in the Jia family. Cao Xueqin used the yardstick of "etiquette" to measure that the Xue family and the Jia family's door was not right, and the more excellent Xue Baochao was, the greater the tragedy.
The problem of the Xue family, Xue Baochao is not unaware. But there was nothing she could do but bend over backwards. Her careful and cautious weight-bearing forward echoes the judgment picture of "There is another pile of snow, and there is a golden hairpin buried under the snow", which is a portrayal of Baochao's overwhelmed burden.
Aunt Xue's current pampering and superiority are exchanged for Xue Baochao's fame and care. The problem was that Aunt Xue didn't recognize it. There is no difference between her and the old lady You, who is about to appear and betray her daughter!
To find out what happens next, look at the next breakdown!
