Zhou Rui's wife told Xifeng that Granny Liu was coming again, but it happened that Grandmother Jia heard her and asked who Granny Liu was, and then Xifeng understood. Jia Mu said she wanted to talk to an old man and ask her to meet him. Granny Liu didn't dare to go, and Pinger advised her to follow. Grandmother Jia met and stayed in the garden for a few days. Granny Liu naturally told the grandmother Jia and others what she had seen and heard in the countryside.
Grandmother Jia, Lady Wang and other sisters discussed giving Shi Xiangyun a seat back, so Baoyu suggested eating it in the garden. The next day, the weather was fine, and the grandmother Jia and others came, as well as grandma Liu and others. Grandmother Jia picked a red chrysanthemum and put it on her temple, and told Granny Liu to wear one, too. Xifeng pulled granny Liu over and said with a smile, "I'll put it on for you." Say, put a plate of flowers on your head. Jia and others laughed. Grandma Liu also smiled and said, "I don't know what I did here. I am so decent today. " Everyone laughed: "You didn't pull it down. You threw her face and dressed you up as an old demon." Grandma Liu said with a smile, "Although I am old, I also had an affair when I was young. I like flowers and pink, so I'll be an old romantic today! "
During the dinner, Xifeng discussed with Yuanyang and made a joke of Granny Liu. Yuanyang took grandma Liu and told her quietly, "Don't worry, girl." After sitting down, Grandma Jia said "please", and Grandma Liu stood up and said loudly, "Liu, Liu, you eat like a cow." Don't look up after eating an old sow! "They first paused, and then all burst out laughing together. Xiangyun spat out a mouthful of tea, and Daiyu laughed out of breath. Baoyu rolled into the old lady's arms, and the old lady smiled and hugged him, calling him "sweetheart". Mrs. Wang laughed and pointed at Xi-feng, unable to speak. "。 Aunt Xue couldn't hold tea in her mouth, so she sprayed Tanchun with her skirt. Only Xifeng and Yuanyang didn't laugh, leaving Granny Liu alone. Granny Liu took the ivory chopsticks inlaid with gold that Feng gave her. She is so heavy that she refuses to listen to her. She said, "This fork climber is heavier than my shovel. How can I beat it? " He also praised quail eggs: "The chickens here are also handsome and lay small eggs." Feng smiled and said, "One or two pieces of silver. Try it quickly. Grandma Liu reached for it, but she couldn't afford it. "。 She easily picked up one, stretched out her neck to eat, slipped down again and rolled to the ground. Granny Liu sighed, "One or two pieces of silver disappeared without hearing a sound. "Everyone has no intention of eating, and they all look at her and laugh.
After dinner, Grandmother Jia and her party went to the residences of Daiyu, Baochai and Tanchun. Feng prepared a circle of chairs for them to order and drink while waiting for pear fragrance court's play to begin. Granny Liu is afraid of touching the porcelain cup and wants to drink it with a wooden cup. Feng ordered Yang to carve ten sets of cups, saying, "You should eat every set." Granny Liu was pleasantly surprised. While pondering the calligraphy and painting on the side of the cup, she said, "I'd better eat a small cup." Keep this mug. I will take it home and eat it slowly. " They all laughed again.
Yuanyang ordered someone to pour a large cup, and Granny Liu held it in her hands. Both Jia Mu and Aunt Xue said, "Slow down, don't choke." Aunt Xue ordered Xifeng to serve a dish. Xifeng put some eggplant in Granny Liu's mouth and said with a smile, "You eat eggplant every day and try our eggplant. It's delicious." Grandma Liu smiled and said, "Don't tease me. Eggplants all taste like this. We don't need to grow food, just grow eggplant." Everyone laughed: "It's really eggplant." Grandma Liu said in surprise, "It's really eggplant. Please give me another bite to chew. " Xifeng added some more for her. Grandma Liu chewed it carefully for a long time and said with a smile, "Although it smells like eggplant, it just doesn't look like eggplant. Tell me what to do and I'll do it. " Feng said with a smile: "This is not difficult. You peel fresh eggplant, only the meat is clean, slice it in Queena Ding, and then fry it in chicken oil. Then use preserved chicken, mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried bean curd and various dried fruits, cut into cubes, simmer in chicken soup, collect sesame oil and seal in a magnetic cylinder. Take it out if you want to eat. " Granny Liu shook her head and spat out her tongue and said, "My Buddha! How many chickens do you need? Blame the taste. "
After the banquet, everyone and Jia Mu played in the garden. The old lady took granny Liu, who said to the old lady, "Not only the city people are distinguished, but also the birds are distinguished. This sparrow has become handsome, and he can talk when he comes to you. " Everyone was puzzled and asked, "What sparrow has become handsome and can talk?" Granny Liu said, "The green hairy red beak standing on the golden shelf in the porch is a parrot. I know. The black old man in that cage can talk with a crested head! " They all laughed again.
Grandmother Jia also took Granny Liu to the Cuiqi Temple. Wonderful jade to meet in. Grandmother Jia said, "We only ate wine and meat. "。 "You have a bodhisattva, collision is a sin. Let's just sit here, bring your good tea, have a drink and go. " Miaoyu personally held a small tea tray engraved with begonia and filled with gold, with a small bell with a colored cover inside, and gave it to the grandmother. Grandmother Jia said, "I don't eat Lu 'an tea." Wonderful jade smiled and said, "yes. This is' Laojunmei'. Grandmother Jia asked, "What kind of water is this?" "。 "Wonderful jade said," this is the rain of the old year. Grandmother Jia ate half a cup, smiled and handed it to Granny Liu, saying, "Try it. "。 Granny Liu ate it all at once, and said with a smile, "It's good, but it's light, and it's better to cook it thick. "。 "Jia everyone laughed.
Miaoyu took Baochai and Daiyu by the skirts and told them to go out with her. Baoyu followed quietly. I saw Miaoyu lead them into the wing. Miaoyu personally boiled water on the air stove and made a pot of tea. Baoyu came in gently and said with a smile, "You are eating seasonal tea!" Daiyu and Baochai both laughed and said, "You're rubbing tea again! There is nothing for you to eat here. " Miaoyu told Daopo to put the teacups that Granny Liu had eaten outside, took out two more cups and poured tea for Baochai and Daiyu, but handed Baoyu the usual green jade bucket. Baoyu said with a smile, "As the saying goes, the world is peaceful. Why do they use such antiques and treasures, and mine is such a vulgar device? " Miaoyu said, "Is this vulgar? I am not crazy, but I am afraid that you may not find such a vulgar device at home! " Baoyu said with a smile, "As the saying goes,' Go to the countryside with the countryside'. When I come to you, I will naturally demote this golden pearl and jade treasure as a vulgar device. " Miaoyu was very happy to hear this, so she found another nine-bend ten ring headlight carved from bamboo roots, with 120 lamps. She smiled and said, "This one is the only one left. Can this sea cup be eaten? " Baoyu said happily, "I can eat." Miaoyu said with a smile, "Although you ate it, you didn't waste tea. Isn't it delicious to smell a cup? Two cups are foolish to quench thirst, and three cups are to drink donkey. What will happen to you if you eat this sea cup? " Baochai, Daiyu and Baoyu all laughed.
Daiyu asked, "Is this also the rain of the old year?" Miaoyu sneered, "People like you are laymen, and you can't even taste water! Five years ago, I lived in the Xuan tomb of the temple. The snow I picked from plum blossoms was collected in an urn, and I couldn't bear to eat it. It was buried in the ground and only opened this summer. I have only eaten once, and this is the second time. " Baochai knew that she was eccentric, didn't talk much and didn't sit much. After drinking tea, she asked Daiyu out. Baoyu apologized to Miaoyu and said, "Isn't it a pity that the teacup was dirty and left in vain? In my opinion, I might as well give it to my poor woman, and I can live by selling it. Do you mean let it? " Miaoyu listened, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Fortunately, that cup is something I have never eaten; If I eat it, I will break it. I can't give it to her. I don't care whether you give it to her or not, just give it to her and get it quickly. " Baoyu said, "Of course. Just give it to me. " Miaoyu ordered someone to bring it to Baoyu. Baoyu answered and said, "When I go out, how about asking the pages to fetch some buckets of water to wash the floor?" Miaoyu smiled and said, "This is better. But you told them to fetch water and put it under the wall outside the mountain gate. Don't come in. " Baoyu said, "This is natural." As he spoke, he took a cup out of his sleeve and handed it to the little girl in Grandmother Jia's room. She said, "Take it home to Grandma Liu tomorrow."
Grandmother Jia was tired, so she ordered Lady Wang and Yingchun to accompany Aunt Xue to drink and come to Daoxiang Village to rest. Xifeng, Li Wan and other maids followed.
Yuanyang still dragged granny Liu around and came to the archway of the mothering villa. Granny Liu said, "Oh dear! There is also a big temple here. " Say, then get down and kowtow. Everyone bent over with laughter. Granny Liu said, "What are you laughing at? I know all the words on this archway. " Everyone laughed: "Do you know what temple this is?" Grandma Liu looked up and pointed to the words and said, "This is not the Jade Emperor Hall!" Everyone laughed and clapped their hands. Grandma Liu felt a noise in her stomach at this moment, so she took a girl and asked for two pieces of paper to untie her skirt. Everyone stopped her with a smile: "Not here!" Busy life A woman took her away. The woman pointed to a place and walked away to have a rest. Granny Liu drank some wine, ate a lot of greasy food, and drank several bowls of tea, which inevitably led to diarrhea. After squatting for a long time, I suddenly felt dizzy and lost my way. I had to walk slowly along a gravel road until I came to a house and walked in. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a girl coming out with a smile. Grandma Liu quickly smiled and said, "The girls left me here." The girl did not answer. Grandma Liu hurried to hold her hand, but her head hurt with a bang. On closer inspection, it turned out to be just a painting. Grandma Liu turned into a small door, lifted the curtain and went in. She looked up and saw that all the walls were exquisite. The piano, sword, bottle and stove were all attached to the walls. The veil was golden and pearly, and even the bricks stepped on the ground were green and chiseled. I want to find a door to go out, but I can't find it. I just found a door behind the screen and saw an old woman come in from the outside. Granny Liu was surprised and thought, could it be her own mother? He asked, "You are here, too. I think you can see that I have no home to look for me these days. Which girl brought it in? " Seeing her head covered with flowers, she smiled and said, "Hello, you have never seen the world! Look at the flowers here, you will wear one regardless of life and death. " The old woman just laughed and didn't answer. Grandma Liu stretched out her hand and felt ashamed. Suddenly, she felt that the old woman's face was cold and hard. She was shocked and suddenly remembered: "It is often said that rich people have a kind of mirror, but am I in the mirror?" I thought about it and reached for a closer look. This is really a mirror. Bang, but the western mechanism was pressed and the door was exposed. Granny Liu was pleasantly surprised. When she came out, she saw a delicate sheet. She sat on the bed and fell asleep involuntarily.
After everyone disappeared from Granny Liu, they looked around. Aroma thought, "Don't get lost. Follow this road to our backyard. Let me see. " As soon as she entered Yee Hong Courtyard, Aroma heard snoring like thunder, and the room smelled of wine and fart. A look, I saw granny Liu lying on her back with her hands outstretched. Aroma hurried up to wake her up. Grandma Liu woke up with a start, and when she opened her eyes, it was an attack. She quickly got up and said, "Girl, I deserve to die! At least I didn't dirty the bed. " Aroma, afraid of disturbing Baoyu, waved him to stop talking. "Never mind, I'm here. Come out with me. "
The next day, Granny Liu took Banel to say goodbye to Xifeng, saying, "Although I have only lived for two or three days, I have experienced everything I have never seen, eaten or heard. It is rare for old ladies, aunts and ladies to take care of me like this. I have nothing to repay this time. I just invite some high incense and recite Buddha to you every day to bless you with a long life. " Xifeng told her that both the old lady and the elder sister caught a cold yesterday, and when she remembered that the elder sister didn't have a name, she asked Granny Liu to give her a name to ward off evil. Granny Liu asked her elder sister's birthday, and when she heard that it was the seventh day of July, she said it happened to be Er Qiao. If something happens that doesn't suit her at the moment, everything will be fine, and everything comes from the word "Qiao". Xi Xifeng was naturally happy and asked Pinger to prepare something for Granny Liu. Granny Liu took Pinger to the outhouse, where she saw the contents of half a kang and the 1,822 taels of silver from Lady Wang and Xifeng, and thanked her again and again. Granny Liu said goodbye to Grandmother Jia again. Yuanyang gave her a few big bags of things that everyone gave her, called a car and asked the page to take Granny Liu back to her hometown.
