It is said that Grandma Liu compared her hands and said: "The flowers have fallen and formed a big pumpkin."Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.So after eating the door cup, Yin laughed again and said, "Tell me the truth, my hands and feet are clumsy, and I was drunk, so I accidentally hit this porcelain cup."There is a wooden cup to take a cup, but it falls to the ground and cannot be hit.After hearing this, everyone laughed again.When Sister Feng heard this, she hurriedly laughed and said, "If you really want wood, I'll get it."But there is one thing to say first: the wooden ones are not comparable to the porcelain ones, they are all a set, and you must eat a set to make it.After hearing this, Grandma Liu sighed in her heart and said: I was just making fun of it, but he really did.I often go to the banquet in the village where the nobles and gentry go. I have seen gold cups and silver cups, but I have never seen wood ones.oh!Yes, it must be the wooden bowls used by children, but let me eat two more bowls.Don't worry about it, anyway, this wine is like honey water, and you won't be afraid to drink more.After thinking about it, he said: Take it and discuss it later.

Sister Feng ordered Feng'er: "Go to the inner room in front, and there are ten cups with bamboo roots on the bookshelf."After hearing this, Feng'er agreed to go, Yuanyang smiled and said: I know your ten cups are smaller.Besides, you just said it was made of wood, and now you have brought one with bamboo roots, which is not good-looking.It's better to bring ten big sets of cups from our boxwood root, and pour him ten times.Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's even better."The mandarin ducks are brought by fate.When Grandma Liu saw it, she was both surprised and delighted: the surprise was that there were ten of them in a row, and they were divided into different sizes. Strange, one color landscape, trees and figures, and there are cursive calligraphy imprints.Because he was busy, he said, "Just take the small one. Why are there some?"Sister Feng laughed and said, "There's no reason to drink one of these cups."Because our family does not have such a large amount, no one dares to make it.Since grandma wanted it, she found it with great difficulty, so she had to eat it one by one.Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "I dare not."Good aunt, please forgive me.Jia's mother, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang all knew that he was too old to bear, so they said hurriedly, "Don't eat too much, just eat this first cup."Grandma Liu said: Amitabha!I'll make a small cup to eat.Put this big cup away, and I will take it home to eat slowly.The people who said it laughed again.Yuanyang had no choice but to order everyone to pour a big cup, and Grandma Liu held it in both hands to drink.

Both Jia Mu and Aunt Xue said: "Eat slowly, don't choke."Aunt Xue ordered Sister Feng to pick the vegetables again.Jia Mu laughed and said, "You feed him some eggplants."Sister Feng heard that she put some eggplants into Grandma Liu's mouth according to her words, and said with a smile: "You eat eggplants every day, and you can also taste how delicious our eggplants are."Grandma Liu said with a smile: "Don't coax me, the eggplant has come out of this smell, we don't need to grow food, we only grow eggplants."Everyone laughed and said: "It's really eggplant, we won't coax you anymore."Grandma Liu was surprised and said: "It's really eggplant?"I ate half a day in vain.Auntie, please feed me some more, chew this one carefully.Sister Feng took some more and put them in her mouth.Grandma Liu chewed it carefully for a long time, and said with a smile: Although it has a little eggplant fragrance, it just doesn't look like eggplant.Tell me how to make it, and I will eat it too.Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's not difficult."You sign the skin of the eggplant that has just come down. You only need to clean the meat, cut it into small cubes, and fry it in chicken oil. Cut into nails, simmer with chicken broth to dry, collect the sesame oil, mix with bad oil, put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly, take it out when you want to eat, and mix it with fried chicken melon.

Grandma Liu shook her head and stuck out her tongue and said: My Buddha!Pour over a dozen chickens to match it, it's so delicious!While talking and laughing, he finished the wine slowly and just played with the glass carefully.Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's still not fun, let's have another cup."Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "That's great, then I'll be drunk to death."Because I love this, it's thanks to him how he did it.Yuanyang smiled and said, "I've finished the wine, what kind of wood is this cup made of?"Grandma Liu said with a smile: I can't blame the girl for not recognizing it. How can you recognize wood when you are embroidered in Jinmen!Our family lives with the woods all day long, we sleep on it when we are sleepy, we sit by it when we are tired, we eat it when we are hungry, we see it in our eyes, we hear it in our ears, we talk about it in our mouths. , so at any rate, I can recognize the truth and falsehood.Let me recognize it.On the one hand, he looked at it carefully for a long time and said: "People like you definitely don't have such cheap things, and you don't take away the easy-to-get wood."When I weighed the cup, it was heavy. It was definitely not made of rotten wood, it must be made of yellow pine.When everyone heard this, they roared with laughter.

I saw a woman came to ask Jia Mu, saying: "The girls have all arrived at the Ouxiangxie. Please show me the old lady. Do you just stop playing or wait a while?"Jia Mu hurriedly laughed and said, "But I forgot about them, so let them play."The old woman agreed to go.For a while, only the melodious flute pipe and the sheng flute were heard.When the wind is clear and the air is refreshing, the music comes through the forest and water, which is naturally refreshing.Baoyu couldn't help it first, picked up the pot, poured out a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.After pouring it again, I was about to drink it. I saw that Mrs. Wang wanted to drink it, and ordered someone to change the warm wine. Baoyu quickly took her own cup and brought it to Mrs. Wang's mouth. Mrs. Wang took two mouthfuls from his hand. .When the warming wine came, Baoyu was still sitting, and Mrs. Wang brought her warming pot to the table. Everyone was out of the table, and Aunt Xue also stood up. Hu Lai: Tell your aunt to sit down, so everyone can relax.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang handed the pot to Sister Feng and sat down by herself.Jia Mu said with a smile, "everyone has two drinks. It's really interesting today."He said to take a cup for Aunt Xue, and then said to Xiangyun and Baochai: "You two sisters have an extra cup."Even though your sister Lin doesn't know how to eat, don't spare him.Said he had done it.Xiangyun, Baochai and Daiyu also did it.Now, when Grandma Liu heard such music and had wine again, she danced with joy.Baoyu smiled at Daiyu because he was leaving the table, and said, "Look at Grandma Liu."Daiyu said with a smile: "Shun music was played back then, and all the beasts danced at the head of the dance, but now it is only a leader."All the sisters laughed.

After a while, Aunt Xue attended with a smile and said: "Everyone's wine thoughts are all over, let's go out and take a walk before sitting down."Jia Mu was also about to leave, so everyone attended and played with Jia Mu.Because Jia Mu wanted to take Grandma Liu to relax, she took Grandma Liu to the tree in front of the mountain to linger for a while, and then told him what kind of tree it was, what kind of stone it was, and what kind of flower it was.Grandma Liu understood them one by one, and said to Jia's mother, "who knows that not only people are noble in the city, but even queer is also noble."But when this sparrow came to you, it also became handsome and could talk.Everyone was puzzled, because they asked why Que'er became so handsome and could speak.Grandma Liu said: "The green-haired red-billed parrot standing on the golden shelf in the corridor, I recognize it."How come the old black raven in the cage has a crested head again, and can also talk.Everyone laughed when they heard this.

For a while, I saw the girls coming to invite some snacks.Jia Mu said, "After two glasses of wine, I'm not hungry anymore."Forget it, just bring it here, everyone can eat whatever you want.The girls went to carry two tall tables and two small holding boxes.When you open it, you can see that each box is different: this box contains two kinds of steamed food, the same is lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cake, the same is loose goose oil rolls, and the box contains two fried dumplings, the same is only one inch in size. , Mother Jia asked what kind of stuffing, and the women hurriedly replied that it was crab.When Jia Mu heard this, she frowned and said: "It's greasy now, who eats this!"I don't like the same kind of small noodles fried in butter.Because she asked Aunt Xue to eat, Aunt Xue picked up only one roll, tasted it, and handed the remaining half to the girl.Grandma Liu saw that the small noodles were exquisite, translucent and various, so she picked a peony flower and said with a smile: "The most skillful sisters in our village can't cut out such a piece of paper with scissors."I love to eat but I can't bear to eat it, so it would be good to make some home for them.Everyone laughed.Jia Mu laughed and said, "I'll give you a jar when you go home."Eat this while it's hot first.Others just pick one or two things that everyone likes to eat. Grandma Liu has never eaten these things before, and they are all made small, so that they don't show up on the plate. He and Ban'er ate some of each, and went to half the plate.For the rest, Sister Feng ordered to save up two plates and a box to eat with the civil servants.Suddenly seeing the grandma hugging the eldest sister, everyone coaxed him for a while.The eldest sister was playing with a big grapefruit, and suddenly saw Ban'er holding a bergamot, so she wanted the bergamot too.The girls coaxed her to take it. The eldest sister couldn't wait, so she cried.Everyone hurriedly gave the pomelo to Ban'er, and coaxed Ban'er's bergamot over to her.After playing with bergamot for half a day on that board, now he is holding some noodles with both hands to eat, and suddenly seeing that the grapefruit is fragrant and round, he feels more fun, and he is playing with it like a ball, so he doesn't need bergamot.

At present, Mother Jia and others had had tea, and then brought Grandma Liu to changcui'an.Miaoyu quickly took it in.In the courtyard, seeing the flourishing flowers and trees, Jia Mu said with a smile: "After all, they are people who practice. They often repair things when they have nothing to do. It looks better than other places."While talking, he came to the East Zen Hall.Miaoyu smiled and turned inward, and Jia Mu said, "We all ate wine and meat. You have a Bodhisattva here, and you have washed away your sins."Let's sit here, just bring your good tea and let's have a cup.After hearing this, Miaoyu went to make tea.Baoyu paid attention to how she acted, and saw that Miaoyu personally picked a small tea tray filled with begonia and carved lacquer filled with Jin Yunlong's birthday.Jia Mu said, "I don't eat Lu'an tea."Miaoyu said with a smile: I know.This is Lao Junmei.Mother Jia took it and asked what water it was.Miaoyu smiled and said that it was the rain from the old year.Jia Mu ate half a cup, then smiled and handed it to Grandma Liu and said, "Try this tea."Grandma Liu took it and ate it up in one bite, and said with a smile: "It's good, it's just lighter, and it's better to boil it thicker."Everyone laughed at Mrs. Jia.Then everyone is the same color official kiln to fill the white bowl.

Then Miaoyu pulled Baochai and Daiyu's skirts, and they went out with her, and Baoyu followed quietly.I saw Miaoyu let her two be in the ear room, Baochai sat on the couch, and Daiyu sat on Miaoyu's futon.Miaoyu fanned water on the stove and made another pot of tea.Baoyu then walked in and said with a smile, "I prefer you to eat your own tea."Both of them laughed and said, "You've come here again to cheat for tea."It's not yours here.Just as Miao Yu was going to get the cup, she saw the Taoist woman taking the teacup on it.Miaoyu is in a hurry: don't take away the teacup from Chengyaoyao, just put it outside.Baoyu knew it, knowing that Grandma Liu had eaten it, and she didn't want it too dirty.I saw Miaoyu take out two more cups.One has an ear next to it, and there are three official characters on the cup, followed by a line of small real characters played by Jin Wang Kaizhen, and another line of small characters seen by Su Shi in Meishan in the fifth year of Song Yuanfeng in April of the fifth year of Song Yuanfeng.Miaoyu poured out a cup and handed it to Baochai.That one looks like a bowl but is small, and it also has three pendulum seal characters, engraved with apricot and rhinoceros.Miaoyu poured out a bowl and Daiyu.Still pour the green jade bucket that I used to drink tea with Baoyu.Baoyu laughed and said: "As the saying goes, the world is equal, the two of them just use such antiques and treasures, and I'm just a vulgar one."Miaoyu said: "Is this a common utensil?"It's not that I'm talking crazy, I'm afraid you may not be able to find such a vulgar artifact in your family.Baoyu laughed and said: "As the saying goes, you go to the countryside with your country. When you come here, you will naturally degrade all the gold, jade and jewelry as vulgar objects."Miaoyu was very happy when she heard this, so she found another big box with nine tunes, ten rings, one hundred and twenty knots, and carved bamboo roots. She said with a smile: "This is the only one left, you can eat it." this sea?Baoyu said happily, "I can eat it."Miaoyu laughed and said, "Although you can eat it, you don't want to waste the tea."Wouldn't it be nice to hear that one cup is a taste, two cups is a thirst-quenching fool, and three cups is drinking cows and donkeys.What will you become if you eat this sea?Baochai, Daiyu and Baoyu all laughed.Miaoyu held the pot and only poured about a cup into the sea.Baoyu ate it carefully, and he felt extremely light and pure, and praised him endlessly.Miaoyu sternly said: "The tea you are eating is thanks to her two blessings. I won't give it to you when you come alone."Baoyu laughed and said, "I know it very well. I don't accept your favor either. I just thank them both."After hearing this, Miaoyu said, "it's clear."Dai Yuyin asked: "Is this also the rain of the old year?"Miaoyu sneered and said, "You are such a common man that you can't even taste water."This is the snow on the plum blossoms that I lived in Panxiang Temple in Xuantou five years ago. I got the grimace-green flower urn together. I was reluctant to eat it and buried it in the ground. It only bloomed this summer.I only ate it once, this is the second time.Why can't you taste it?The rain in the next year is so light and pure, how can I eat it.Daiyu knew that she was eccentric by nature, and she didn't like to talk much, and she didn't like to sit too much, so after tea, she asked Baochai to come out.

Baoyu and Miaoyu laughed together and said, "Although the teacup is dirty, wouldn't it be a pity to leave it for nothing?"In my opinion, it is better to give it to the poor woman, and he can live by selling it.Can you make it?Miaoyu listened, thought for a while and nodded and said: That's all.Fortunately, I have never eaten that cup. If I had, I would have smashed it and couldn't give it to him.I don't care if you want to give it to him, I just give it to you, take it quickly.Baoyu laughed and said, "Naturally, if you talk to him, give and take, you will become even more dirty."Just leave it to me.Miaoyu ordered someone to bring it to Baoyu.Baoyu took it, and said again: "When we go out, how about I ask some children to fetch some buckets of water from the river to wash the floor?"Miaoyu laughed and said, "That's even better, but you told them to carry the water and put it under the wall outside the mountain gate, and don't come in."Baoyu said: "This is natural."Then, he held the cup in his sleeve, handed it to the little girl in Jia Mu's room, and said, "Go to Grandma Liu's house tomorrow, and take it to her."Make it clear that Mother Jia has come out to go back.Miaoyu didn't stay too much, sent out the mountain gate, turned around and closed the gate.No problem.

It is said that because Jia Mu felt tired, she ordered Mrs. Wang and sister Yingchun to accompany Aunt Xue to drink, and then she went to Daoxiang village to have a rest.Sister Feng hurriedly ordered the small bamboo chair to be brought up, Mother Jia sat on it, and the two women lifted it up. Sister Feng, Li Wan, and all the maids and women went around, without any trouble.Aunt Xue also resigned here.Mrs. Wang sent the civil servants to wait out, scattered the box and ate it with the maids, and then she took a rest in the spare time, casually leaning on the couch where Jia's mother was sitting just now, ordered a little girl to put down the curtain, and ordered him to beat Standing on his legs, he told him: If there is a letter from the old lady, just call me.As he spoke, he also fell asleep on his side. Baoyu, Xiangyun, etc. watched the maids put the box on the rock, some sat on the rock, some sat on the grass, some leaned on the tree, and some stood by the water. It was very lively.Suddenly I saw the mandarin ducks coming again, and they were going to take Grandma Liu for a stroll, and everyone rushed to make fun of them.When I came to the archway of the Xingqin Villa for a while, Grandma Liu said, "Ah!There is also a big temple here.As he spoke, he climbed down and kowtowed.Everyone laughed and bent over.Grandma Liu said: "What are you laughing at?"I can read all the words on this archway.There are the most temples like this in our place, and they all have this kind of archway, and that word is the name of the temple.Everyone laughed and said, "Do you know what temple this is?"Grandma Liu raised her head and pointed to the word, saying: Isn't this the word Jade Emperor Palace?Everyone laughed and clapped their hands and feet, and made fun of him.Grandma Liu felt a commotion in her abdomen, and hurriedly dragged a little girl to undress after asking for two pieces of paper.Everyone was laughing, and they were too busy drinking him here!He hurriedly ordered a woman to take the northeast up.The woman pointed out the place to her, so she happily went away to rest. Because Grandma Liu drank some wine, his temper was not suitable for rice wine, and he ate a lot of greasy food and became thirsty. After drinking a few more bowls of tea, he couldn't help having diarrhea, and squatted for half a day to finish it.When he came out of the toilet, the wine was banned by the wind, and the old man squatted for a long time, and suddenly got up, only feeling dizzy and unable to tell the way.Looking around, there are trees, rocks, towers and houses, but I don't know which one is going that way, so I have to walk slowly along a gravel road.When I got to the house, I couldn't find the door. After searching for a long time, I suddenly saw a bamboo fence. Grandma Liu thought to herself: There are also lentil shelves here.While thinking, he walked along the flower barrier and got a month to enter the cave.Suddenly there was a pool facing you, only seven or eight feet wide, with a stone bank, and the clear water in it flowed there, and there was a white stone on it.Grandma Liu went over to the stone, walked along the stone path, turned two turns, and saw a door.So when he entered the door, he saw a girl coming out with a smile on his face.Grandma Liu hurriedly laughed and said: The girls left me behind and asked me to meet here.Having said that, I just feel that the girl doesn't answer.Grandma Liu came to hold his hand, and bumped against the board wall with a bang, hitting her head so badly.After a closer look, it turned out to be a painting.Grandma Liu thought to herself: It turns out that the paintings protrude like this.While thinking about it, looking at it, and touching it with his hand, but the color is the same, because he nodded and sighed twice.After turning around, Fang found a small door with a soft green curtain hung on it. Grandma Liu raised the curtain and went in. When she looked up, she saw exquisite and translucent walls on all sides. Qin, sword, vases and stoves were pasted on the walls. The brocade gauze was covered with gold and pearls. Even the bricks on the ground floor were carved with emerald green flowers. Find the door to go out, where is the door?There is a shelf of books on the left and a shelf of screens on the right.He just got a door behind the screen and turned around, only to see his mother-in-law also came in from the outside.Grandma Liu was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "You think I haven't been home for a few days, thanks to you looking for me."That girl brought you in?His in-laws just laughed and didn't reply.Grandma Liu said with a smile: "You have never seen the world. Seeing that the flowers in this garden are so good, you don't have to wear one."His in-laws didn't answer either.Suddenly I thought of it and said: Yes, I often hear Xiaojia say that rich people have a kind of full-length mirror, so don't tell me I am in the mirror.After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and then took a closer look, it is not, the red sandalwood board walls are carved on all sides, and the mirror is embedded in the middle.Yin said: "This has been blocked, how to get out?"While talking, just touch with your hands.This mirror was originally a Western mechanism, which can be opened and closed.Unexpectedly, when grandma Liu fumbled around, her strength coincided, so she knocked open the message, covered the mirror, and exposed the door.Surprised and delighted, Grandma Liu stepped out and suddenly saw a pair of the most exquisite bed curtains.At this time, he was seven to eighty percent drunk, and tired of walking, so he sat down on the bed, only said to rest, and didn't realize that he couldn't help himself, so he leaned forward and closed, his eyes were dim, and he fell asleep when he turned his body. bed. Let's say that everyone waited for him to disappear, and when Ban'er saw that his grandma was gone, he was so anxious that he cried.Everyone laughed and said: Don't you fall into the latrine?Call someone to take a look.Because he ordered the two women to look for it, but they came back and said no.Everyone searched everywhere and couldn't find it.Xiren led his way: he was drunk and lost his way, and went to our back yard along this road.If you enter the flower barrier and go in the back door, even if you meet, the little girls will know; if you don't enter the flower barrier and go southwest, it's okay if you go around, but if you can't get out, it's enough for him to go back to the house.I'll take a look.Thinking about it, he came back and called someone when he entered Yihong Courtyard, but the little girls in those houses had already gone to play. The attacker went all the way into the door, turned around the collection box, and heard snoring like thunder.Hurriedly coming in, only the smell of wine farts filled the room.At a glance, I saw Grandma Liu lying on her back on the bed with her hands and feet dancing.Xiren was quite shocked by this, and hurried to catch up with him and pushed him awake.Grandma Liu woke up startled, opened her eyes and saw the attacker, got up quickly and said: "Girl, I made a mistake!"Didn't stain the bed net.While talking, he dusted it with his hands.The attacker was afraid of alarming people, and Baoyu knew about it, so he just waved his hand at him and didn't tell him to speak.Busily stored three or four bunches of lily incense in the local big tripod, and still covered it with a cover.Some must clean up, Xixi never vomited, hurriedly smiled quietly: "It's irrelevant, I have it."You come out with me.Grandma Liu followed the attacker to the little girls' room, ordered him to sit down, and said to him, "Just say that you passed out drunk and took a nap on the mountain stone."Grandma Liu promised to know.After eating two bowls of tea with him, Fang Jue woke up and asked, "Is this the lady's embroidery room, so exquisite?"I feel like I'm in heaven.Xiren smiled slightly and said, "This is the bedroom of Second Lord Bao."Grandma Liu was too frightened to make a sound.Xiren took her out from the front, met everyone, and only said that he fell asleep under the grass and brought him here.Everyone ignored it, that's all. When Jia Mu woke up, she set up dinner in Daoxiang Village.Because Jia Mu felt lazy and didn't eat, she sat in a bamboo chair and a small sedan chair and went back to her room to rest, and ordered Sister Feng to wait for dinner.His sister came back to the garden.You need to know the end, and listen to the next chapter to break it down.
