The Red Mansions

Chapter 190 Ping'er and Xiren Night Talk

It was dark.

In the small courtyard, Ping'er walked slowly with the night breeze blowing, looking at the door from time to time.

After a while, footsteps came.

Ping'er took a deep breath, his face showed joy, and he was about to go forward to greet him, but suddenly he was stunned again.

Those who come are attackers.

I saw that she was holding a tea tray with two cups in it, and there were straws in the cups.

Ping'er showed doubts.

Xiren stepped forward with a smile and said: "This is the pearl milk tea that the master specially prepared for you. Ice cubes are added in it. This weather is just right to relieve the heat."

"Ah, is it so extravagant at home now? Pearls are added to milk tea." Ping'er was surprised.

Xiren covered his mouth with a smile and explained: "It's just named Pearl, how can we really add pearls into it?"

With that said, the two came to the house and sat down.

Ping'er hesitated: "He...won't he come..."

"I want to come, I am accompanying my wife right now." Xiren said with a smile:
"Recently, Madam is in a hurry to have a child, so the Master naturally wants to take care of her first, so he sent me to talk to you for a while."

Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Xiren staring at her, he couldn't help but blush.

Xiren smiled, handed the milk tea to Ping'er, and said, "Try it, it tastes so good, you'll want to drink it even after drinking it."

"Hey!" Ping'er responded, and after receiving the milk tea, he looked at the straw and asked, "Are you using this tube to suck it?"

Xiren nodded and said, "Just use a tube to suck."

Ping'er sipped the tube and took a small sip. The milk tea was sweet and soft, ice-cold, smooth and refreshing. The Q-bomb pearls brought a layered taste, which made people fall in love with the taste after just one sip.

"It's delicious, with fruit pulp in it?" Ping'er said with a smile.

Xiren nodded and said, "I added some fruit pulp. How about it? Doesn't it taste good?"

Ping'er smiled and said, "That's right, don't you usually have a lot of delicious food?"

Jia Yun's culinary skills are notoriously superb, but since he went to school, outsiders have rarely been able to eat his meals, and even Ping'er sometimes craves his meals.

"Hehe, there is indeed no shortage of delicious food at home, and you also know that our master has a lot of tricks when it comes to eating. If you stay at home for a few more days, you will probably be reluctant to leave." Xiren said with a smile.

Ping'er wondered, "He's an official now, does he still cook often?"

"That's not true. The cook at home has been trained long ago. The master hasn't cooked for a long time. He only cooks on the old lady's birthday." Xiren shook his head and replied.

Ping'er asked: "What about Miss Bao? On her birthday, will Er Master Yun cook in person?"

"Unfortunately, madam's birthday is the 21st of the first lunar month. Last year at that time, she hadn't been married yet, but this year the master is in the south, so even if he wants to do it, he has no chance." Xiren said with a smile.

After a pause, she continued: "Master's identity is different now, he can't cook easily, but when he is free at home, he will guide me and Meiren to make some pastries, drinks and so on. "

Ping'er's eyes lit up and said, "So you're also cooking a lot of delicious food now?"

"Hehe, I haven't counted how much I have learned. There are probably hundreds of special snacks, so I should be able to make them!" Xiren thought for a moment and replied with a smile.

Ping'er admired: "You are following the right person. With these abilities, it is safer than having several sons!"

"Hey! You're still talking about me, didn't you follow him too? If you want to learn this later, I'll teach you!" Xiren said generously.

Ping'er nodded and said: "I want to learn. When the time comes, I will worship you as my teacher and train you. I won't let you teach me for nothing."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Xiren also laughed, slapped Ping'er lightly, and said angrily:

"You are the only one who can play tricks on people. If you really want to worship me as a teacher, won't you just be inferior to me for a lifetime? When the master knows about it, he will definitely give me good fruit!"

"Haha, then don't let him know, let's do it secretly." Ping'er said with a laugh.

Xiren shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't mention the words of apprenticeship. If you want to learn, you can come to me at any time. Anyway, I have a lot of time now."

Ping'er nodded, restrained his smile, and asked curiously: "Now that you are an aunt, isn't your life much better than when you were in Jia's mansion?"

"Well, that's true." Xiren nodded and said, "Not to mention anything else, as a concubine, she is the master after all, and she can only be served by others, not by others."

"One more thing, my aunt is a commoner and no longer a slave. When she goes out, she feels very different about herself."

Ping'er nodded thoughtfully from time to time.

Xiren continued: "There are many benefits, and I can't finish it in one or two words. After you come to our house, you can experience it yourself."

"I, I haven't seen anything yet!" Ping'er pouted and sighed.

Xiren pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, you are different from me after all, you have to let Granny Feng go to release you."

Ping'er took a sip of milk tea, nodded and said, "That's the reason, but she won't let me go for a while."

"Who told you that you have outstanding abilities and are her right-hand man? She can't easily do without you." Xi Ren said.

While the two were talking, after each finished their milk tea, Ping'er asked curiously: "You have nothing to sleep at night, how do you pass the time?"

Xiren smiled and said, "Learning to read, write and count, learning to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you have your own way to pass the time."

"Hey, are you all playing so elegantly?" Ping'er asked in surprise.

Xiren nodded and said, "Don't you just do this at night, but there are many things to do during the day, such as fighting weeds and admiring flowers, painting and arranging flowers, cooking tea and cutting ribbons, playing on a swing, being a female celebrity, skipping rope, flying a kite, etc."

"Sometimes when I'm in the mood, I'll get together in groups of three or five, go to the pavilion in the garden, cook a barbecue myself, and drink a few glasses of rice wine until I'm slightly tipsy. It's the most pleasant thing."

Ping'er envied: "I didn't expect your daily life to be so colorful!"

Xiren pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It turns out that there are not so many interesting things at home, but since my wife came over, she brought four first-class dowry maids, Xiang'er, Jing'er, Yuan'er, and Lian'er. more."

"I know these four. I heard from Second Master Yun that they are not only beautiful, but also have unique skills, right?" Ping'er asked with a smile.

Xiren nodded and said: "It's true, the four of them are the most talented women in our family, so let's just say that if you take out any of them, you can compare with all the maids in Jia's house."

Ping'er asked curiously, "Why have I been here several times, but haven't seen them?"

"Because they now have to teach the little maids at home to read and write. Apart from serving the master and wife in the morning and evening, they spend most of their time in the courtyard next door!" Xiren explained.

Ping'er frowned and said, "I can't figure it out, Second Master Yun put so much effort into training these maids, why?"

"This... I don't know what he thinks, but since he arranged it like this, there must be a reason for him!" Xiren hesitated.

Ping'er nodded, then asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see Mrs. Qin today?"

"I went back to my mother's house. Her younger brother heard that he was about to lose his breath, so he went back and stared at him." Xiren replied softly.

Ping'er said: "She was originally the main wife of Ningguo Mansion, but she became an aunt when she came here, can she get used to it?"

"You can get used to it. Compared with the frightening life in Ningguo Mansion, living in our house is much more relaxed. You don't have to worry about being afraid, and you have so many sisters by your side. What's wrong with you?" Xiren said with a smile.

Ping'er was puzzled and said: "But she used to be the main wife, but now she has become a concubine, don't you feel any grievance?"

"Probably there are, who doesn't want to be a regular wife? But this person, he has to recognize the reality, right?" Xiren said vaguely.

Ping'er nodded and said: "That's right. I heard that she was often harassed by Uncle Zhen when she was in Ningguo Mansion, and that Young Master Rong was unable to stand up. She dared not speak out when she was angry. This made her very distressed."

"Hey, the most hateful thing is that she is such a kind-hearted beauty, and she has been divorced by Master Rong. Where do you think this is going to make sense? After all, there is no one in her natal family, right!"

Xiren sighed and said: "As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. After all, she is a lucky person. She met our master. Otherwise, after she was divorced, she might not even have the will to live. Gone."

"That's why I just said that she has recognized the reality. Although she came to our house to be an aunt, she is also the master after all. It is even much easier than the master of Ningguo Mansion. She doesn't have so many bullshit things to worry about. "

Ping'er echoed, "That's true. Recently, Jia's mansion has been very evil. Strange things have happened one after another. The second master Lian and the second master Bao almost died. It shows how dangerous it is!"

"I was still talking to our grandma before, is there something unclean in Jia's house, sister Xiren, do you think it is possible?"

"This...isn't that evil?" Xiren was taken aback, looked at the dark night outside, and hesitated.

Ping'er was startled, then burst out laughing suddenly, patted the table, and said happily:

"Haha, I never thought that sister Xiren is also afraid of ghosts. Don't worry, Second Master Yun is a serious master of raising people. Ghosts and ghosts can't get close to the house easily!"

Hearing this, Xiren heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Well, you Pinger, you actually came to scare me, let me give you good fruit to eat!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and creaked flat.

Ping'er, who was laughing happily, dodged left and right in fright, but let the attacker catch up to her again, and squeaked her vigorously.

"Oh...haha...don't...haha...help..."

Ping'er yelled and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Xiren bit his lip and smiled, "Whoever told you to scare me and said to give you good fruit, I will give you good fruit!"

Ping'er felt uncomfortable from the creaking, and looking for an opportunity to counterattack, Jiang Xiren also giggled and laughed.

"Hee hee... ha ha... aww..."

The two of you came and went, and within a few moments, they were all disheveled and sweaty.

Both of them have a strong temper, they will not admit defeat, the more they play, the more crazy they become, their faces are almost stiff from smiling, but they still want to continue.

"Let go, or I will continue to creak..."

"No, if you want to let it go, you should let it go first..."
