Chapter 43 Jia Cong Treats
In order to make the old lady happy, she had to imitate Feng Jie, make jokes, pretending to be stupid, after all, she was her grandmother.
But the result was still good. The old lady was very happy. She probably eliminated the grudges she had in the past few days and agreed to go to the banquet together.
Jia Mu smiled for a while and asked, "Brother Cong, who else have you invited besides you sisters?"
"When I go back to the old lady, I want Baoyu, Brother Huan, and Brother Lan to go over and have fun, and my eldest sister-in-law is also the second sister-in-law. If I want to go there, it will be more lively."
When Jia Mu heard this, she smiled even better, "Okay, then let them go together, they are all going to be lively."
"Okay, old lady, don't worry, I will definitely invite you all."
Jia Cong went to invite his eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Huan Ge'er, Lan Ge'er, and Baoyu respectively. Finally, he would go to his mansion with Jia Mu, Lin Daiyu and others.
After arriving at the backyard, everyone was amazed at the big yard. Even Jia Mu was a little surprised, "This Lai family is really a big deal."
When she entered the lobby, Jia Mu couldn't help but be stunned, "Why does this place give me a very familiar feeling?"
"Hey! Old lady, it's the same layout as your room."
"Yes, old lady, even these decorations are exactly the same, just like in your room."
When Jia Mu heard them say this, she was really like she was returning to her own room. She couldn't help but look at Jia Cong with confusion. Could this grandson be deliberately prepared to please him, right?
"Brother Cong, what's going on?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Old lady, this place turns out to be Mama Lai's room. These facilities are arranged by her imitating you. I look good, so I haven't changed it and I've kept it."
After hearing this, Jia Mu just nodded, and sat down in the main seat without opening her mouth.
After looking at the candy and snacks on the table, there were many varieties and exquisiteness, I nodded with satisfaction.
"You all do it. Since you are here to be a guest, there is no need to be polite to Brother Cong. We will be poor today."
Wang Xifeng said with a slight interest: "Oh! Old lady, look at Brother Cong's yard, how can he eat poorly in this meal? It seems that we have to come a few more trips to make him poor."
"Hahahaha, you monkey, be careful to get your brother upset and snatch the treasure you are hiding."
Everyone laughed and sat down one after another.
Jia Mu likes the fun, so she puts two tables together so that everyone can sit down.
"Don't worry, old lady, you will definitely have a good time today. See if you have anything you want to eat, and prepare a few more delicious ones for you."
After thinking about it, Jia Mu found that there was nothing she wanted to eat, so she said to Jia Cong: "You can't eat a few bites when you are old. There is no need to be so troublesome. Let the chef here serve a few special dishes. I'll change my taste and prepare a few soft ones."
"Okay, I will definitely satisfy you, Mr. Feng."
Ping'er actually has some understanding of the old lady's taste and has prepared some. After hearing what Jia Mu said, she went on and arranged it.
It was still early, and everyone was talking and chatting while eating candy, melon seeds and other snacks, and the scene was lively.
Jia Mu ate a piece of Poria cocos cake and nodded, "The taste of this cake is very good and very authentic."
Thinking of the girl Ping'er just now, she was instructing the arrangements here, and she couldn't help asking: "I just saw that girl Ping'er is in charge of the business here. Did your sister-in-law Lian lent her to you?"
Jia Cong smiled slightly and said, "Old lady, I need a housekeeper here. After the matter here is handled, I will go to the farm to practice hard for a few months. I don't have time to do housework, so I found Sister Feng and begged Sister Ping'er to help me manage the housework."
Jia Mu nodded, "This girl is a capable girl, and it's enough to help you housekeeper. Isn't it the same for you to practice at home? Why do you have to go to the village? The conditions there are not comparable to those at home."
"My grandson went to the village and selected a group of teenagers from the village as his team and guards, training them while practicing by themselves. When I became an adult, they could use it."
"You kid is thinking for the long term. Since you have such an idea, then do what you want."
Jia Cong nodded in agreement, and then had a fight with the young sisters again, seeing the lunch time.
Yanhong led the maids up, removed the candy and pastries on the table, wiped them clean, and then served them one by one and placed them on the table.
There are more than 20 dishes including fish fillets with ginger sauce, five-spice rice pigeon, sweet and sour lotus root slices, shredded chicken whittia, osmanthus fish strips, eight-treasure rabbit diced rice, casserole stewed deer tendons, chrysanthemum tenderloin, crispy fried quail, braised red shells, scallion fish skin, sliced suckling pig, etc.
He poured a cup of the warm Shaoxing Huadiao for Mu Jia, and then filled it with everyone.
"Old lady, this is Shaoxing Huadiao for twenty years. How do you taste it?"
Jia Mu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction, "The wine is orange and yellow, and it is soft in the mouth. The wine is fragrant and fragrant, and the wine tastes sweet and mellow. It's very good. These dishes look good, you kid is willing."
Seeing that the old lady was so satisfied, Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's good if the old lady is satisfied. Look at which dish you want to eat, and my grandson brings it to you."
After all, Jia Mu was old and had a very small appetite. She only ate some deer tendons, osmanthus fish strips, ginger fish fillets, and tasted a slice of suckling pig, then put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.
"You keep eating yours and don't worry about the old woman."
There are no outsiders, so everyone has to be polite. Everyone has had a happy meal at a banquet.
After dinner, Jia Mu wanted to take a nap, so she took her maid and the mother back early, and Wang Xifeng and Li Wan also went back together.
But the younger generation stayed, Jia Cong took them around, went around the garden, and then went to the study together.
Jia Huan said with envy: "Third Brother, your house is too big, you are almost catching up with Rongguo Mansion. Are you lucky every day?"
Jia Lan also sighed, "Uncle Cong's changes are getting bigger and bigger."
Jia Cong laughed and said, "Don't be envious, you will have it when you grow up."
Lin Daiyu walked around the study room, looked at the empty walls and curled her lips, "Brother Cong, this is too shabby. Are you also called a study room? What about your book?"
Yingchun also said, "Yes, Brother Cong, you have to make some books and decorate them in your study."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "My third brother didn't like reading before, so he naturally didn't have any books. He only wrote "The Analects of Confucius"."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I really don't have books in my hands. I'm busy lately. Let's arrange it slowly when I have time."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother Cong, you want to study but don't even have this book. How can it be? Sir, I, seeing that you are still ambitious, I will reward you with a set of "Four Books" and "Five Classics".
Jia Cong laughed and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your letter. Students must study hard and improve every day."
Yingchun saw the two of them and laughed out loud, saying, "I have a lot of chess and I'll give you two decorative shops. You can also take a look when you're fine."
Tanchun also said, "Then I will give you a few words to fill the storefront, too."
Xichun looked at this and that, and thought for a while and said, "Why don't I give my third brother a few paintings to hang on the wall."
