Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 252 Baochai Gives Gifts
However, Tanchun finally got the chance to be the aunt's housekeeper, but she went up to ask twice, and Mrs. Wang dismissed her because she didn't have time to teach her. Didn't show up.

Baochai smiled and said: "No, I really want to thank you girl today. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be able to send you things one by one, door to door? I'm so tired for this little thing, and I don't know who. It will hurt.”

Wu Linzhu smiled and said, "Miss Bao, what's new that favors us? Hurry up and show it to open your eyes, don't play tricks here."

So Baochai asked Ying'er to carefully bring several sandalwood boxes, and said with a smile, "the things are not very expensive. If you look for the expensive ones on the annual gift list when you go home, my mother is richer than me. I have some here." , it’s all in my mind.”

Because the patterns on the boxes were different, it was easy to tell who it was for, so Baochai distributed them to everyone one by one.When everyone received it and opened it to look, inside were a few velvet flowers with unique shapes, two handkerchiefs embroidered by Baochai, and three jewelry made of unknown red gemstones.

Daiyu had the best eyesight, but she couldn't see it right, so she just wondered, "Is this... jewelry made of crimson grain stone? But... why doesn't it look too much, but it's quite similar."

Even Wu Linzhu and Shui Yan didn't know what the stone was after looking at it for a while, they both shook their heads.

Baochai laughed and said, "Madam Lin is right, this is not the crimson grain stone!"

Lin Daiyu retorted: "Sister Bao said it was a crimson-grained stone? But... except that the color is seven or eight similar, this stone is much more transparent and beautiful than the crimson-grained stone. How can it be a crimson-grained stone?"

Baochai patted the back of Daiyu's hand: "Sister, please be patient and listen to me slowly. It was the days before Sister Yunchun got married. My mother opened the warehouse to find good stones to make jewelry for Sister Yuanchun. After adding makeup, I saw this stone again. In fact, the same piece of ore is not small, it is half the size of this bed, but no one knows what kind of stone it is.

I heard from the old servant at home that this stone was discovered next to a pile of crimson stone mines, but it is more transparent than crimson stone, with fewer impurities and more colorful colors.It is said to be amethyst, but who has seen a purple crystal?What's more, they are not the same crystal seed, and no one can say how to classify them for a while.So the price at the time of purchase is not high.When I bought it back then, I just saw it looked good, and I planned to make it into a first division and sell it in our shop, but no one recognized it, and no one was willing to buy it, so this stone was left unused for many years.

When my second brother saw it in the warehouse, he recognized this stone at a glance. He said it was also a kind of crimson stone, but it was called garnet. Best for women to wear however.

So, we took it out and made it into a lot of jewelry. Some of them were given to Sister Yuanchun to add makeup, and I took some and ordered others to make them into necklaces, soft bracelets and earrings. Light, bless the sisters to be safe and successful, so I will give them away one by one.Not only you guys, but I also want to send them to Sister Yuanchun, Sister Feng and Miss Ye.If you have something good, please share it with everyone! "

Everyone listened for a long while, with moved expressions on their faces.

Li Wan took Baochai's hand and sighed: "Good sister, it's rare that you think of us in your heart. This day, when you go to the temple to consecrate the light, you kneel for an hour or two. How can your body bear it?"

Shui Yan also said: "That's not true, Baochai, you just said that things are not expensive, but I think that with your intentions in it, this gift is more precious than anything else."

Everyone thanked Baochai for his kindness, and Daiyu asked curiously again: "Why did your second elder brother recognize this garnet at a glance? This kind of stone has such a good effect, so why is it that only your family has such a large piece of dust?" Is it true that no one else knows about the rough stone that has been around for a long time?"

Speaking of this, Baochai smiled helplessly and said, "Who made my brother a bookworm? In his bookshelf, there are all kinds of things. Almost everything in the world is recorded there, and even things that don't exist in the world can be left behind." Pen and ink. This stone was originally introduced in detail in a book. I have also read the book. No wonder my brother can recognize it at a glance. The book also mentions that where the original stone of the crimson grain can be dug, carefully look for it. If you are lucky, you can find this kind of garnet, but the degree of light transmission and the amount of impurities directly determine the value of the stone, and it is not always possible to dig out the best garnet.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Daiyu said: "I'm bragging. I'm not bragging. Our Lin family has nothing else. There is not even a storeroom for books, but half a storeroom. Even if it's like this, I dare not say what there is or isn't in the world. It’s recorded in our family’s library!”

Daiyu just didn't believe it, but Baochai said narrowly: "I said there is, of course there is. If you don't believe it, I will just find a few books from his bookcase and show them to you. I think the set of books "Special Collection of Enjoying the Coolness" It's very good. What's written in it is totally unprecedented in the world. The ghosts, ghosts and foxes are not enough, and the resurrection of zombies is not exciting enough. What I love the most is the mysterious case in the haunted house and giving birth to a ghost who can eat people. Dolls, or raise a kid and suffer backlash..."

The more Baochai talked, the more creepy she became. Lin Daiyu was not a brave person at first, and at this time her tears were already falling, but she couldn't help pleading: "Sister Bao... oh, my good sister, my dear sister, I, I... I It’s okay to say something wrong, don’t say it anymore, don’t say it anymore, please!”

Baochai was just joking, but when she turned around she saw that Daiyu was already crying, Yingchun and Li Wan's faces were ashen, and their eyes were full of tears. She didn't intend to make people angry, but she just smiled and said: "Okay, I told you just now, these are things that don't exist in the world, so what's so scary? You haven't heard my second brother tell the story himself. , That's scary! Hmm... I won't talk about it today, if anyone is interested, I will show you one or two sets of "Enjoying the Coolness Special"?"

Except for Tanchun and Wu Linzhu, everyone shook their heads.

That's right, this "Enjoying the Coolness Special" was silently written by Xue Hong based on her memories of horror movies in her previous life when she was practicing calligraphy.Practicing calligraphy, writing the same thing over and over again is very boring, only writing some interesting things can barely make the boring time of practicing calligraphy more interesting, right?

Of course, if Xue Hong knew that this type of book would be sold out in the library, I think he would definitely prolong his calligraphy practice.It's just that "Enjoying the Coolness Special" is still a pastime for the younger brothers and sisters when they are bored at this stage, and it is just about to start to take out the house and circulate it.
