The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 63 Sweet Miaoyu

To deal with Baoyu, Jia Min once thought of starting from Daiyu, putting pressure on Baoyu and torturing Baoyu by getting close to Daiyu.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

This approach is too despicable and unfair to Daiyu.

Although Daiyu has some acerbic faults, on the whole, she is still a kind and pitiful woman.

If this is done, it is likely to make Daiyu's life in the mansion even more difficult.Emotionally, it is also a kind of harm to Daiyu.

Except for women like Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, Jia Min didn't want women, including the girls in the mansion, to be involved in his grievances.

I wanted to transform the Red Mansion because I wanted them to have a better ending. If I let them get hurt, I would deviate from my original intention.

Jia Min felt that it was time for him to visit Miaoyu, and he hadn't been there for more than ten days.The last time she went to her place, she hinted to herself that she could visit her often, if he never went, he was afraid that Miaoyu would be annoyed, and he would never see him again.

This high-cold style, with a bad temper, is completely doable.

You can't go there empty-handed, you have to bring her some presents.

How about some presents?

When Miaoyu came out, although she might bring some money from her family, her family was in decline, and even if she had money, there would not be much left besides her own expenses and the expenses of the maidservants.

Living in Tiekan Temple, although she doesn't have to spend her own money on board and lodging, girls always like some small and exquisite things and snacks, and she always hangs out in the social circle of girls in the mansion. , It will inevitably cost money.

However, with her haughty look, she seemed to have to beg her to accept the money given to her.

Well, just ask, or just lend it to her, anyway, she won't be able to pay it back anytime soon, so there's no need to pay it back.When we become a family in the future, we can't talk about paying it back, it's considered a betrothal gift.

Just giving money is a bit too vulgar, you have to give something elegant to match her petty bourgeois sentiment.

Then give her the painting given by Eunuch Dai, she should like it.

So Jia Min opened the cabinet and found the three scrolls that Dai Quan gave last time.I took out one and was about to send the other two back when I stopped again.

It seems that one should also be given to Baochai.It happened to be given to Miaoyu, which also had a suitable excuse.

Sending her a piece of calligraphy and painting is a tactic to attack her heart, so that she can leave her own impression in her heart. From then on, she has an intersection with her, and we will meet each other in the future.She got my gift, maybe she will return a gift of some kind.After going back and forth, it is inevitable that feelings will arise.

Otherwise, it will always be difficult to get closer if we don't communicate with each other forever.

Since it was given to Baochai, it would be bad if Daiyu didn't give it to her.She, Baochai and Miaoyu are all outsiders, so it is not appropriate to leave her behind.

Sigh, forget it, there are exactly three scrolls, so let’s be more generous, one for each person.Who told the local tycoons to be rich?

If it really doesn't work, I will copy a few poems to Eunuch Dai in the future, let him show off to others, and then get some calligraphy and painting from him.

Anyway, those things of his didn't come with money, and he doesn't like them, so it's a perfect way for me to pick up girls.

The girl is greedy and likes to eat small things.It's just that they usually don't lack these things, so they have to give them something new.It seems that I put my heart into it, and it also makes Miao Yu like it.

I just bought oranges yesterday, and there was still some agar left from the last inoculation, so let’s make some oranges.

This thing is the only one in the world, no one else can make it, Miao Yu will definitely like it.Do a little more in a while, and ask Miaoyu to give some to the girls, old ladies, and Mrs. Wang in the mansion, so that she can have some face in front of everyone.

Miaoyu's little heart is relatively fragile, and it gives her a sense of accomplishment, which is the truth of picking up girls.

Jia Min did what he said, so he called Fenghua and Xueyue to peel the oranges, and he boiled the agar himself.

The reason why agar is added is because agar can suspend the orange particles in the liquid, no matter how they are placed, the orange particles are suspended.Without agar, the orange pellets would sink to the bottom.

This drink is actually very easy to make, the trick is to use agar.It turned out that Jia Min had planned to give this method to Wang Xifeng, but now that she is so out of touch, it would be a shame to give her money.

It didn't take long for the oranges to be made.

Jia Min left some for Ping'er, Jiao Li and the others, and filled two jars with the rest, and asked Shang Nan'er to take it with him, and went back to the house to get 1000 taels of silver notes, and rode to Tiechan Temple together. .

It was midsummer at this time, and the roadside in front of the gate of Tiekan Temple was full of flowers everywhere.From a distance, I saw a few people wandering among the flowers.

When I got closer, I saw two little girls who looked like maids by the roadside. In the flowers not far away, a girl in yellow was chasing butterflies with a round fan in one hand and a flute in the other. picture.

Jia Min immediately remembered the scene of Baochai fluttering butterflies in the red building.

Could this girl be Baochai?When she came here, she must have come to Miaoyu.

It was God's will to meet by such a coincidence.

Jia Min wanted to confirm with the maid, but she was afraid that if she asked the girl's identity for the first time, she would appear frivolous and give Baochai a bad first impression, so she held back.

Jia Min was originally a special warfare elite with extremely keen observation skills.Seeing the front of the carriage on the side of the road facing the temple, I was sure that the carriage was going to the temple.It should be that when they came here, seeing the pleasant scenery, they couldn't help but stop temporarily and play for a while. They still have to go to the temple in a while. At that time, they can be seen in the temple.

So, pretending that nothing had happened, he went to the temple.

Seeing Jia Min, Miaoyu was obviously a little surprised.However, he immediately let Jia Min into his quiet room.Although he didn't show any obvious joy, Jia Min still saw that faint smile on the corner of Miaoyu's mouth.

Small sample, just this high-cold style, smile openly, who can tell you to lose money?

Sure enough, Miaoyu took out the tea bowl that Jia Min drank tea from last time, and made tea for Jia Min.Seeing Jia Min staring at him, he glared at Jia Min, pretending to be angry, with a blush on his face.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Jia Min took out oranges.

"I made some new things by myself. I promise you haven't seen them before. I'll give them to you to taste. You can give the rest to the old lady, wife, brother Rong's daughter-in-law and the girls in the mansion. Taste it. If you drink it well, ask someone to send a message, and I will make it for you again."

Jia Min took out the jar, and Miaoyu brought a few more teacups and poured them out.

"Huh? It's amazing."

Miaoyu immediately became interested, picked up the bowl, and looked at it carefully.

I saw the orange grains floating in the bowl, still swimming slowly.No matter how the bowl is shaken, it will not sink to the bottom.

"How about it, haven't you seen it?"

Miaoyu was pleasantly surprised, she glanced at Jia Min, her face was full of joy, and she smiled sweetly.

"I've never seen it before. Why doesn't it sink?"

"Drink and look, it's very sweet."

Miaoyu picked up the bowl slowly, raised it to her mouth, and when she was about to drink, she glanced at Jia Min again.Only then did he drink it gracefully.

Seeing Miaoyu's sweet face, Jia Min's heart moved, a warm and loving tenderness rose, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

This appearance of her daughter's house should be Miaoyu's true face.Such a light and agile woman really shouldn't have such a miserable ending.I will do my best to protect her in the future, so that she will always be as sweet, satisfied and happy as this moment in front of me.

After Miaoyu finished drinking, Jia Min poured another bowl for her.Miaoyu obviously didn't drink enough, so she wanted to pick it up and drink again.Halfway through, it stopped again.

"You can drink a bowl too."

"I drank it at home, you can drink it, if I want to drink it, I can do it anytime."

Seeing what Jia Min said, Miao Yu drank again.

"I have a few scrolls here, which I bought from Eunuch Dai in exchange for wine. It's useless for me to keep them, so I brought them for you. You pick the ones you like, keep one, and give the other two to you. Miss Lin and Miss Bao are one for each other."

"They are relatives from outside. Giving them to them also shows our way of hospitality. Because of the bet with the old man, it is not convenient for me to go to the mansion now. I have never met Miss Lin and Miss Bao. It would seem a bit abrupt to give it to them directly, so please ask Ms. Miaoyu to pass it on for you."

Miaoyu didn't answer directly, but opened several scrolls and looked at them carefully.

After a while, put the scroll down.

"This thing is too expensive, I can't take it."

Jia Min knew that she would be like this, so he quickly answered the call.

"The so-called buyer of goods, even if it is a valuable thing, it must be in the hands of someone who appreciates it to be worth it. If it is in my place, it is just a vulgar thing that takes up space. .The so-called gift of a sword to a hero is the truth."

Originally, Jia Min wanted to say the last sentence "give pink to beauties", but, considering Miaoyu's high-cold demeanor, he changed it temporarily.In order not to offend the beauty and make her feel embarrassed.

"I'm really sincere, and I would like to ask the girl to save face. In addition, the business has been doing well recently and I have made a lot of money. There are some similarities between my life experience and the girl's, so I feel the same for the girl's situation. Here is a bank note, Girl, please accept it."

"Young lady often travels with the mansion, and there are maids and women. It would be bad if you wrong them. But please rest assured, young lady, this matter is indeed from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no intention of being careless. Please don't misunderstand, young lady. "

After saying this, Miaoyu kept silent and shed tears quietly.

What Jia Min said really spoke to her heart.

She originally came to the imperial capital with her master, but since her master passed away, she has become more and more embarrassed in terms of money.However, the daily ostentation cannot be reduced, for fear that others will see it as a joke.So I had to force the facade.Last month, I pawned a piece of jewelry.

Now Jia Min is giving her money, if you want it, it's really embarrassing.Don't do it, because I lack money and I am afraid of hurting Jia Min's face, so I am in a dilemma.

Seeing that Miaoyu was still hesitating, Jia Min grabbed Miaoyu's jade hand, forced the bank note into her hand, and closed her fingers together.

Miaoyu struggled a few times, but no matter how hard she struggled, she felt that she had already been grabbed by him last time, and it would be nothing more than to grab it again.There is no longer any struggle.

"You must accept it. If you agree, let it go. If you don't agree, just hold on to it like this. If outsiders see it, you will be embarrassed anyway, and I don't care."

Miaoyu was anxious and angry, her pretty face turned redder and redder.

"You naughty rascal, I'll just promise it, and let it go quickly. If it is seen by others, it will be inappropriate."

Only then did Jia Min let go.

Just at this moment, a voice was heard outside.

"Is Miss Miaoyu here?"
