Chapter 38: Lin Xiaoxiang's Poem on the Chrysanthemum Competition Xue Heng, Wu Xi and Crab Yong said, they entered the pavilion together and offered tea. Sister Feng was busy setting up the table and asking for cups and chopsticks.

The table above is for Jia Mu, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Daiyu and Baoyu; the table to the east is for Shi Xiangyun and Mrs. Wang to welcome, explore and cherish; the table to the west is for Li Wan and Sister Feng, two people.

No one dared to sit down, so they only waited on Mrs. Jia Muwang's two tables.

Sister Feng ordered: "Don't bring too many crabs. Keep them in the steamer. Bring ten and eat before you take them out." She asked for water to wash her hands again and stood in front of Jia Mu to peel the crab meat, letting Aunt Xue do it for the first time.

Aunt Xue said, "I'll eat the sweets myself, no one has to give them to me." Sister Feng offered them to Jia Mu.

The second time he went to Baoyu and said, "Bring the wine that's boiling hot." He also ordered the little girls to get mung bean noodles smoked with chrysanthemum leaves, osmanthus stamens, and prepare to wash their hands.

Shi Xiangyun ate one with him, then sat down and asked someone to serve him, then went outside and asked someone to fill two plates with Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.

Then he saw Sister Feng coming and said, "You're not used to cooking, go and eat what you have. I'll cook for you first, and then I'll eat after we leave." Xiangyun refused, and ordered two tables to be set up on the corridor.

, let Yuanyang, Amber, Caixia, Caiyun and Ping'er sit down.

Yuanyangyin smiled at Sister Feng and said, "Second Grandma is waiting here, we can eat." Sister Feng said, "You just go and leave it all to me." With that, Shi Xiangyun still sat down at the table.

Sister Feng and Li Wan also randomly responded to the scene.

Sister Feng still came down to arrange things, and went out to the corridor for a while. Yuanyang and others were eating happily. Seeing him coming, Yuanyang and others stood up and said, "Grandma, what are you doing here again? Let us enjoy it for a while." Sister Feng said with a smile, "Yuanyang and others."

My little hooves are getting worse. I work for you, but you don't appreciate it. Why don't you pour me a glass of wine?" Yuanyang smiled and poured a glass of wine, bringing it to Sister Feng's lips. Sister Feng raised her neck.

have eaten.

Amber Caixia and Hu Bo Caixia also poured a glass and brought it to Sister Feng's lips, and Sister Feng also ate it.

Ping'er had already picked out a shell of yellow seeds and brought it to her. Sister Feng said, "Pour in more ginger vinegar." She also ate one side and said with a smile, "You guys sit down and eat, I'm going to go." Yuanyang smiled and said, "Okay.

No shame, eat our food." Sister Feng said with a smile: "Don't make trouble with me. You know that your second master Lian is in love with you and wants to marry you." Yuanyang said, "Hey, this is it.

That’s what Grandma Zuo said! If I don’t wipe your face with my dirty hands, it won’t matter.”

Sister Feng said: "Good sister, please spare me this time." Hu Hu said with a smile: "Yuan Yatou is going, why should Ping Yatou spare him? Look at him, he didn't eat two crabs, he drank instead.

Even with a plate of vinegar, he can't bear it." Ping'er was breaking off a yellow crab in his hand. Hearing him being ridiculed, he took the crab and rubbed it on Amber's face, laughing and scolding, "I'll kill you."

Such a chewy little hoof!" Hu Hue also smiled and ducked to the side. Ping'er used it and bumped forward, hitting Sister Feng's cheek exactly.

Sister Feng was laughing with Yuanyang when she suddenly jumped and let out a cry.

Everyone couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

Sister Feng couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What a whore! You've lost your eyesight after eating. Why don't you wipe it with your mother?" Ping'er hurried over to wipe it for him and went to bring water himself.

Yuanyang said: "Amitabha! This is retribution." When Jia Mu heard it, she asked repeatedly: "What can you see that makes you so happy? Tell us to smile too." Yuanyang waited and laughed loudly and replied: "Second Grandma is here to grab it.

Ping'er was annoyed and wiped the crab roe on his master's face. The master and his slave were fighting." Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang also laughed after hearing this.

Jia Mu smiled and said: "You see how pitiful he is, just give him some of the legs and navels and that's it." Yuanyang and others agreed with a smile, and said loudly: "The table is full of legs, Second Grandma just eats them

That's it." Sister Feng washed her face and came over, waiting for Jia Mu to eat again.

Daiyu didn't dare to eat more, so she only ate a little bit of meat and then sat down.

Jia Mu stopped eating for a while, so everyone dispersed and washed their hands. Some looked at the flowers, some looked at the water and watched the fish, and played for a while.

Mrs. Wang returned to Jia Mu and said, "It's very windy here, so she ate crabs again. The old lady should go back to her room to rest. If you like it, you can come back tomorrow for a stroll." After hearing this, Jia Mu said with a smile, "That's right.

I'm afraid that you will be happy, and I'm afraid that it will ruin your happiness. Now that I have said that, let's all go." He turned around and told Xiangyun, "Don't let your brother Bao and Sister Lin eat too much." Xiangyun agreed.

With.

He also told Xiangyun Baochai and Xiangyun Baochai, "Don't eat too much. Although the food is delicious, it is not very good. If you eat too much, your stomach will hurt." The two hurriedly sent them out of the garden, but still came back.

The remaining seats were packed up and placed in another place.

Baoyu said: "There's no need to set it up, let's write a poem. Put the big round table in the middle, with the food and wine. There's no need to fixate on the seats. If you like to eat, everyone can go and eat. Wouldn't it be cheaper to sit around?" Baoyu said.

Chai said: "This is very true." Xiangyun said: "Even so, there are others." Because he ordered another table to be set up, he picked out hot crabs and invited Xiren, Zicuckoo, and chess players to wait for the letter.

, enter the painting, Ying'er, Cuimo and other people sit together.

Two carpets were spread under the osmanthus trees on the hillside, and the mother-in-law and the little girl who had agreed to the order also sat down, eating and drinking as they pleased, waiting for the servants to come again.
