Chapter 14

Spring.

Recently, there were two signboards in the capital, both of which were very famous.

One was Yung Po Hin.

It was a shop that specialized in selling women's jewelry.

The jewelry made here was much more exquisite than the ones on the market.

The designs were also very surprising.

The other shop was Mosaic.

It specialized in selling food and snacks. Every rainy day, it would also sell some wine and tea.

Indeed, it had attracted a number of scholars, high officials, and nobles who considered themselves to be elegant and refined.

In Rongguo Province, people often bought things from these two shops.

Fortunately, Rongguo Province was not only rich, but also had power. Thus, they could always buy things that they wanted.

However, there were many masters in Rongguo Province. After dividing it up, there weren't many places left.

Now, Baoyu was holding a box of Mosaic snacks in his hands. He said to Mother Jia, "I'll just send it to Sister Lin's shop.

There's no need to let Feicui make another trip. "

"You're thinking about your sister all day."

Mother Jia's loving eyes looked at Baoyu. It was unknown what she thought of, but she lazily waved her hand and said, "Go, go."

Baoyu's face lit up. He immediately carried the box of snacks to the cabinet.

Although it was spring, there was still a chill that had yet to dissipate.

He hadn't seen Sister Lin for a long time.

Thinking of this, Baoyu's face unconsciously showed a trace of a smile.

"Sister Lin." Before entering the cabinet, Baoyu had already called out.

The strange thing was that the maids and older female servants were not guarding outside.

Baoyu scratched his head and continued to walk forward. The laughter inside became clearer.

Baoyu hurriedly stepped through the door. Only then did he see that Yin Chun and the others were sitting inside. The servant girls were waiting on the side.

When they heard the sound of footsteps, they couldn't help but turn around and look. They laughed and said, "Baoyu is here. Come quickly …"

"Come, come, come.

Try this. "

His sisters were used to playing with him. Tanchun picked up some food and stuffed it into his mouth. She asked with a smile, "Does it taste good?"

It was crisp in the mouth, and the aroma was rich but not greasy.

Wasn't this … wasn't this the Butterfly Pastry he had eaten at the Elder Ancestor's place?

He was holding this item in his hands.

"Why are you in a daze?" Tanchun covered her smile and asked.

Baoyu glanced at the scene in the room.

Daiyu reclined on the couch.

Yin Chun, Tanchun, and Baochai sat on both sides. Xichun was holding a mirror and holding a hairpin in his hand, as if he was trying on a headdress.

The small table in front of them was filled with food.

There were sugar-fried chestnuts, snacks that were often made in the residence, melon seeds, tea … There were also two or three boxes of food that seemed to be bought from outside.

"This is …?"

Baoyu pointed at the food on the table. He quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Why is it all here with Sister Lin?

Why didn't you call me? "

"Uncle Lin sent some food to Sister Lin. He said it was some rare stuff, so Sister Lin invited us all over," Tanchun said.

"Uncle Lin is in Gusu …" Baoyu was stunned. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. How did he send it over?

Moreover, that uncle didn't look like someone who would do such a thing.

"Hurry and sit down. What are you doing standing there?" Among the sisters, only Tanchun dared to lecture Baoyu like this.

Baoyu nodded and sat down. However, his gaze couldn't help but glance at Daiyu.

Now that it was spring, Daiyu also took off her fur coat and changed into a Yang Fei-colored dress. The color was so beautiful that it made her overly white face blush a little.

It was full of spiritual aura.

Daiyu was a little unhappy being stared at. Her face darkened slightly, and she asked, "Cousin, what are you doing here?"

"I, I'm here to send something to Sister Lin.

Ancestor originally sent Feicui here. However, I missed Sister Lin, so I came here personally. "Baoyu smiled warmly.

He originally wanted to curry favor with Daiyu.

However, Daiyu felt a little unhappy.

Baoyu's tone and behavior always made her feel a little frivolous.

She avoided Baoyu a lot. She originally thought that Baoyu should be able to sense it. However, who knew that this person would still insist on coming forward.

"What are you sending?" Yin Chun asked from the side.

Baoyu was worried that they would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "It's the snacks I bought from Mosaic. Ancestor ate them and sent someone to send some to all of you."

Yin Chun didn't say anything.

The others also didn't say anything. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.

Baoyu hurriedly opened the box in his hand and handed it to Daiyu, "Sister Lin, do you want to try it?

It's not easy to buy these things.

It's said that Mosaic sells a lot of snacks nowadays. It's so much that it's impossible to buy them. "

If it were any other girl, she would have been touched by this gesture.

The harder it was to buy something, the more they would think of her and send it to her.

Wouldn't that make her heart soften?

However, Daiyu's expression was still indifferent. She pointed at the snacks on the table and said, "What a coincidence. These are also the snacks I bought from Mosaic. It's said that there are two more that haven't been taken out for sale.

One is called something like Flower Cup Longan, and the other is called something like Almond Buddha Hand. "

"How is that possible?" Baoyu cried out involuntarily.

Xue Yan smiled and interrupted from the side, "Bao Er Ye doesn't know. Mosaic is the property of Assistant Minister He's family. The signboard is even inscribed by the emperor himself."

Baoyu mumbled, "Didn't the Eight Banners disciples say that they're not allowed to do business?"

"It's changed now." Xue Yan said with a smile.

"But, but Assistant Minister He and Uncle Lin …"

"They're close friends. Therefore, whenever Mosaic and Yung Po Hin have something new, they'll send it to us." Xue Yan was still smiling.

"Yung Po Hin?" Baoyu was stunned again.

"Yes, Yung Po Hin is also the property of Assistant Minister He's family."

Baoyu shut his mouth in embarrassment. Suddenly, he felt that the box in his hand was a little hot. He didn't dare to look at Daiyu's expression.

He thought it was something rare and hurriedly brought it over, but he saw that there were many more here.

Baoyu was a little depressed.

His eyes wandered and fell on Xichun's hand, "What's that?

A new piece of jewelry made in the fu?

It's so beautiful. "

Xichun waved his hand and hurriedly put it on the table, "It's Sister Lin's, not mine."

Baoyu said in a muffled voice, "Yung Po Hin's?"

"Yes."

Tanchun and the others didn't know what Baoyu was thinking. They smiled and said, "Yung Po Hin is really different … The jewelry it makes is really exquisite.

Anyone who sees it will like it very much. "

Baoyu felt that he couldn't sit still. His mind was filled with thoughts of Assistant Minister He, Assistant Minister He …

That person was very young and had such a good appearance. He also had such means. He entered the officialdom early and was doing very well. He didn't even fall behind when it came to making money …

In the past, Baoyu didn't think that he was a big deal. Now that he thought about it carefully, he felt as if there was a fire in his heart. It burned his internal organs and made him uncomfortable.

It was fine if there was no comparison.

Now, other people were like the clouds in the sky, while he was like the mud in the ground.

Sister Lin was such a clever person. How could he get close to her?

Baoyu didn't even have the mood to laugh with his sisters. Therefore, he didn't stay in the cupboard for long and hurriedly went back.

When he returned to the courtyard, he remembered that the box was still in his arms.

He let go of it and sat down on a stool in the courtyard.

At this moment, Jia Zheng happened to come. When he saw Baoyu's expression, he suddenly became angry.

"Did you study today?" His tone was already suppressing his anger.

Baoyu didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Father, why did Assistant Minister He start a business?"

Jia Zheng said coldly, "He has great talent. Now, the Emperor has given him an important task.

What's the big deal about letting him open a shop? "

Great talent.

Appreciated by the Emperor.

Baoyu looked at himself again.

He still felt afraid when he saw his father.

Baoyu was completely speechless.

Jia Zheng couldn't bear to see him like this. He raised his hand and was about to hit him.

Baoyu wailed and hurriedly stood up. His heart was filled with pain as he thought, 'Today is really a terrible day …'
