The Red Mansions

Chapter 154 Lin Daiyu makes tea, Zijuan is good
"Second Master, you are making fun of the slave..."

Zijuan blushed because of her boldness and shame, and hid in Jia Yun's arms, not daring to raise her head.

Smelling the fragrance of her hair, Jia Yun smiled and said, "I really didn't laugh at you, but did your little mouth just eat pineapple, it's so sweet!"

"Hee hee, Sister Meiren stuffed me with a small piece before I came in." Zijuan said with a smile, she hugged Jia Yun's waist lightly, really wanting to let him hold it like this forever.

Lin Daiyu on the opposite side was making tea, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't make things difficult for Zijuan. Although she is a bold girl, she is still a young girl who cannot stand your teasing."

She and Zijuan are like sisters, and when she goes to Jia Yun's house by herself in the future, she will definitely bring Zijuan and Xueyan there.

So now that Jia Yun and Zijuan are getting close, Lin Daiyu is not jealous. After all, in this era, maidservants are supposed to help their own girls and serve others.

Jia Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, don't make fun of her, it's just that girl Zijuan is much stronger than you, especially this pair..."

"Ah! Second Master, don't say anything!" Zijuan stopped her with a soft yelp, and then she threw herself into Jia Yun's arms without moving, allowing him to play with her.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "I really want to gain weight, but my appetite has never been good. By the way, I remember that your cooking skills are very good, and I really like eating your meals..."

"Okay, starting from noon today, I'll cook for you some medicinal meals to nourish your body, including teaching you how to grow meat!" Jia Yun nodded in response.

Lin Daiyu looked at her affectionately, and said happily: "There is a way for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen. Although the original intention is that Mencius exhorted King Xuan of Qi to practice benevolence, but nowadays scholars basically don't enter the kitchen. You..."

Just as Jia Yun was about to speak, Zicuckoo in her arms blushed, frowned, and tremblingly said: "Master, it hurts a little!"

"Oh, then I'll take it lightly." Jia Yun replied, and then said to Lin Daiyu, "I'm willing to cook for you, don't worry about worldly opinions!"

Lin Daiyu hummed when she heard this, and concentrated on making tea, which was ready soon.

The fragrance of tea fills the room.

The aroma of Mansong tea is contained but not exposed, and the aroma is long and elegant.

Take a sip, the soup is sweet and long-lasting, the delicate and sticky tea soup carries the fragrance of elegant orchid and wild honey, rich and restrained, with a floating dark fragrance, which is intoxicating.

After drinking a small cup, Jia Yun put down the teacup and said, "I'm not used to drinking it at first, but after drinking a few more sips, the fragrance will linger on my lips and teeth, with a long lasting aftertaste, no wonder it can be used as a tribute."

Lin Daiyu also drank a glass, nodded and said: "Well, this is a reward from the palace that my grandmother got during the Chinese New Year. She was reluctant to drink it herself, so she gave it all to me. It's a pity that it's only one catty, which is too little!"

"If you really like it, I'll find a way to get it for you." Jia Yun smiled.

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said: "Forget it, this is a tribute. I heard that only a hundred stones are produced every year, which is not enough for the palace. You don't need to spend all your energy to order tea."

Jia Yun asked with a smile, "Have you forgotten what the Xue family trade route is for?"

"I really forgot, okay, with the help of the Xue family trade route, I must be able to get some tea like this." Lin Daiyu suddenly said.

As she spoke, she poured another cup of tea for Jia Yun.

After Jia Yun took it, she brought it to Zijuan's mouth and said with a smile, "Come on, take a sip and see if you like it."

Zijuan hummed, opened her pink lips, and really only took a sip. Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said happily: "It's a little sweet, delicious."

Jia Yun laughed loudly and said, "You like sweet things? You only care about sweet things when you drink tea!"

"Hee hee, the master found out about this hobby of the servant girl." Zijuan said embarrassedly.

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Come down if you like it, and take it yourself. There is still little tea now, so I don't drink it often."

"Don't go down!" Jia Yun put her arms around Zijuan and said, "This girl has a plump body and is comfortable to hold. Let me hold her for a while."

"Virtue!" Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, gave him a blank look, and said, "Let's say yes first, you can hug her, but don't play tricks, especially that..."

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't object, Zijuan was excited and stretched out her hands to wrap around Jia Yun's neck, whispering, "Second Master, this servant likes you very much, I have liked you for a long time!"

Jia Yun was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "Really? When did it start?"

Zijuan whispered: "From the first time I went to your house to look for Xiren's sister, I took a look at the master from a distance, and I will never forget it."

"You are indeed a good person!" Jia Yun nodded and said, then hugged Zijuan tightly, and said softly: "From now on, it will be your home. After returning to Beijing, you can go whenever you want."

"Yeah." Zijuan hummed softly, feeling extremely happy.

As she was talking, Meiren shouted loudly outside the door: "Master, there is a letter from the capital."

Jia Yun replied, "Bring it in!"

The charming man opened the door and came in. Seeing Jia Yun hugging Zijuan, and in front of Lin Daiyu, she was startled. She quickly realized that after closing the door, she stepped forward with a smile on her face, and handed the letter box to Jia Yun.

Lin Daiyu knew that Meiren was now Jia Yun's aunt, not like a maid, so she smiled and said, "Stop standing there, come and sit here."

Meiren didn't refuse, smiled, sat down beside her, and then took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Lin Daiyu.

Jia Yun opened the letter and saw that it was Xue Baochai's reply.

Some time ago, after receiving Xu Renzhi's letter, he knew that there was a high probability that he would be transferred back to the capital, so he wrote a letter to Xue Baochai to surprise her.

Knowing that Jia Yun was going back to Beijing, Xue Baochai was very happy, and immediately wrote back.

She said in the letter that everything is fine at home, so Jia Yun should not worry.

In addition, the new courtyard on the left side of the courtyard started construction after the beginning of spring. A person named Shan Ziye was hired to design and supervise the construction.

If it is fast, it can be completed in the middle of the year.

Due to the limited space in Feiying's letter, Xue Baochai only wrote some important things, and only left a sentence at the end, saying that he misses Jia Yun very much.

"Is it a letter from Sister Bao?" Seeing Jia Yun sighing, Lin Daiyu asked with nostalgia in her eyes.

Jia Yun didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Well, I left Beijing for a new post after being newly married to her for a few months. Thinking about it, I owe her a lot."

Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "Then you have to treat her better in the future. After all, no matter how strong she looks, she is just a woman, and you are her only support."

"Of course." Jia Yun nodded.

Charming rolled her eyes, thinking that after what happened last night, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds, almost to the point where they can talk about everything.

As Jia Yun's bedside person, she knew Jia Yun's future arrangements for Lin Daiyu, so she didn't dare to neglect her. Although she couldn't say she wanted to flatter Lin Daiyu, she wanted to establish a good relationship with her as much as possible.

Naturally, Lin Daiyu sensed the charmer's overtures, and she reciprocated the same. The two had known each other in Jia's mansion before, but now they intend to get to know each other again, and their relationship soon became harmonious.

Zijuan is also clever, after a few glances, she found out the situation, and after a sigh of relief, she felt more comfortable nestling in Jia Yun's arms.

"Master, I still want to kiss..." Zijuan leaned close to Jia Yun's ear and whispered.

Jia Yun smiled and said, "You can come to me at night, but now you can only tap a few times."

Zijuan's face brightened, and she whispered: "It's good to tap a few times."

As she spoke, she really tapped Jia Yun a few times.

Jia Yun smiled. After all, Zijuan is in love for the first time, and she is more open than Lin Daiyu. After a while, she is very attached to him.

Jia Yun pinched her pink face and said, "Don't even mention it, you are really fragrant, and I haven't seen you put on rouge! It's the same with your girl, she smells so good without rouge. "

Zijuan giggled, her eyes turned into crescent moons. Jia Yun said that she was very fragrant, and she was very happy.

Zijuan tilted her head and said, "Master, it hurts a little..."

Jia Yun thoughtfully said: "Forget it, I won't bother you right now, remember to come to me at night!"

As he spoke, he slowly took out his other hand, and took a light sniff, with the scent of a girl.

"Well, it may be later, the servant has to wait for the girl to sleep before she has time to come." Zijuan whispered.

Jia Yun nodded and smiled, "It's okay, it's good to come here later, I always sleep late."

Zijuan nodded happily, walked out of Jia Yun's arms reluctantly, returned to Lin Daiyu and whispered something in Lin Daiyu's ear.

Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Yun, nodded, and saw Zijuan walking with her legs crossed, and went back to the inner room. After a while, she changed her clothes before coming out.

Jia Yun took a look at her and knew what was going on, she laughed straight away, causing a few supercilious looks for no reason.

The traveler was happy, and the time passed quickly, and it was noon in a while.

So Jia Yun cooked for Lin Daiyu herself and cooked a pot of "Angelica Ginger Mutton Soup" tonic medicinal diet, which is especially effective for the syndrome of weakness of qi, blood, yin and yang.

Medicinal diet is the product of the combination of medicine and cooking experience.

It "contains medicine in food", not only regards medicine as food, but also assigns food to medicinal purposes, medicine borrows food power, food aids medical power, and the two complement each other and bring out the best in each other.

It not only has high nutritional value, but also can prevent and cure diseases, maintain health and strengthen the body, and prolong life.

Jia Yun used all the ingredients from the space, and even the soup was cooked with the spring water from the space. Lin Daiyu only had one meal, and she saw immediate results. Her originally pale face gradually turned red.

"Eat less and eat more, don't be reluctant, anyway, I am with you now, and I can cook for you at any time."

Seeing Lin Daiyu eating two bowls, Jia Yun stared at the casserole in a daze and said.

Lin Daiyu also knew how much she had, so she put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to the four standing beside Meiren, Liren, Zijuan and Xueyan: "It's a pity that this soup has poured out, if you don't mind it, you can eat it! "

Zijuan smiled and said: "Your servant is welcome, just smelling the fragrance of this medicinal food, I swallowed secretly."

"That's how it should be. If you are polite, I will be unhappy." Jia Yun nodded and smiled.

Then, several people worked together to clean up the table, and Jia Yun and Lin Daiyu came to the deck to blow the air.

"When did Brother Lian come back last night? He hasn't woken up yet!" Lin Daiyu asked suspiciously.

Jia Yun shook her head and said: "Leave them alone, it's easy to relax, they want to have a good time..."

PS: ask for tickets...
