[Comprehensive Red House] Infinite Merit

With the matter of the imperial concubine visiting relatives, Rong Mansion's life was busy and busy, and there was no peace.

Youyi's Liufangting is still peaceful.A furnace of water incense was quietly burning in the small filigree incense burner. Youyi was resting on the couch with a book in her hand. When she heard the hurried footsteps outside, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the coldness poured out instantly. , and soon turned into Xu Xu sighing.

She casually put down the scroll, raised her hand to rub the center of her brow, and called out, "Bi Yue, what's wrong?"

I saw that the curtain made of light blue gauze was gently lifted, but what came in was not Biyue, but Suyun.She smiled and said, "It's Lian's second grandma and Miss Xue."

"It's a rare visitor." Youyi sighed inexplicably, and ordered: "Let them sit outside for a while, and I will come when I change my clothes."

"Ah." Suyun agreed, turned around and went out, and not long after, Biyue brought someone in with basins, towels, handkerchiefs and other things, and brought the makeup box on the dressing table, helping Youyi to freshen up.

After a while, Youyi stepped out and saw Wang Xifeng and Baochai sitting in the small hall drinking tea, talking and laughing happily.

Not to mention the splendor and magnificence of Wang Xifeng, she only talks about Baochai. On her jet-black sloping bun is a green jade lily hairpin, and tassels made of finely crushed rice beads hang down her temples, making her face gentle and graceful. soft.A pair of beaded lily velvet hairpins are on the other side of the bun. They are small and delicate, and complement each other perfectly.

She was wearing a plain water-blue gown with wishful cloud pattern on her body, a light green skirt with folded branches and flowers dragging the floor, and a green palace sash tightly tied around her waist. Compared with Wang Xifeng, she was another kind of gentle and graceful.It's just that the body is very thin, but the spirit is good.

The only difference from before is that there is only a jasper pendant with wishful cloud patterns hanging down the front of the chest, instead of the yellow and clear gold collar from before.

"Sister-in-law." Seeing Youyi coming out, Baochai stood up with a smile to greet her, and Wang Xifeng also said, "I've been busy these days, but I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time."

Youyi smiled: "Just now I said you two are rare visitors, why do you have the time to come to my place today?"

Wang Xifeng said: "I'm not going to my wife's room. I just ran into Sister Baochai. She said she would come over. I thought I haven't seen you for many days, so I came to see you."

"That's right, if Baochai doesn't come, you won't come?" Youyi chuckled, gave up a few plates of fruit on the table, and said: "Everything else is easy to say, only the plate of persimmons, Although it is rural game, it is not comparable to the tribute, but it is made by my grandma herself, it is different from the outside, it has a special taste, you have to try it."

Wang Xifeng laughed when he heard this: "Who in the whole family doesn't know that sister-in-law has a picky taste? It must be excellent to make you nod."

As she said that, she reached out and picked a piece to taste it, and said with a smile: "It really tastes good."

He asked again: "I don't know how many sisters-in-law have here? If there are many, please cut off the love and let me take it back for our eldest sister to taste."

Youyi readily agreed, and said, "I'll let Yunxin pretend for you."

On the other hand, Baochai said, "Eldest sister is four or five years old, why don't you choose a proper name? Just elder sister's name?"

Wang Xifeng smiled wryly when she heard the words: "It's not that I don't want to take it, but the fortune teller said: My sister's fate is peculiar, and ordinary names may not be able to hold back, the ancestors took two of them, and within two days of use, she must be sick. In desperation, I have been calling Big Sister Big Sister until today."

"This is also a helpless move." Baochai sighed after hearing the words: "Let's wait slowly, there will always be opportunities in the future."

"You girl have been talking more and more interesting recently." Wang Xifeng looked at Baochai with a smile: "You're not a big person, and the words you say make people think you are our age."

Baochai smiled wryly, "Where am I so naive?"

It is rare for her to show a bit of weakness without calculation in front of outsiders, and it is also worrying to watch.

Wang Xifeng sighed, patted her lightly, and said, "It will get better."

It is said that Xue Pan has become more and more self-satisfied since the imperial concubine gained power. He was drunk outside and rode his horse. He fell off the horse and became paralyzed.

The doctor looked at it and said that for the rest of his life, he might only be paralyzed on the bed.

Needless to say, all kinds of difficulties afterwards, although Baochai is a stable person, he was hit badly for a while.It took a lot of thought to stabilize the family's shop business, and she confessed to Aunt Xue that she didn't want to marry outside, but only hoped to keep her father's hard work.

At this time, Aunt Xue only regarded her as the only one to rely on for the rest of her life. Although she was a little sad after hearing this, she was more relieved. From then on, it was even more what Baochai said. It is the death of the husband and the obedience of the daughter.

But outsiders don't know about this, so Wang Xifeng can only comfort her in this way at this time.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xifeng said: "It's almost time, let's go to the wife's yard."

As she said, she got up and took Youyi and Baochai's hands and went out. When she went down the steps, Youyi pulled Baochai to stop. She turned her head to look at Baochai's face, sighed softly, patted her, and said in a low voice : "Let's go and do it, no matter what, the result will not be worse than it is now."

Baochai froze for a moment, then nodded with tears in her eyes: "I know."

It was a lively time in Mrs. Wang's room. Sanchun, Baoyu, and Daiyu were all there. Seeing the three of them coming, Sanchun rushed up and pulled Youyi and Baochai to the table where they were sitting, laughing and talking about trivial matters.Wang Xifeng went to Mrs. Wang's side alone, and the aunt and nephew naturally had some family affairs to discuss.

Seeing that Daiyu's eye circles were red, Youyi asked, "What's the matter? Did Baoyu make you angry again?"

Daiyu blushed when she heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing.Baoyu said: "Sister-in-law, don't ask, it's always my fault."

Hearing this, Youyi laughed and said, "I'm married before I get married. What will happen in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu blushed even more. Sanchun and Baochai both laughed, but Baoyu didn't realize it: "Sister Lin will marry me in the future!"

"Yes, yes, sister Lin, sooner or later you will belong to me!" Youyi raised her hand and picked a red orange and peeled it on her hand. Tanchun asked, "It's almost the end of the new year now, brother Lang Is the children's school going to be on vacation soon?"

Youyi nodded when she heard the words, and said: "Yes, it is said that the holiday will start on 23, and it will not be two days."

Tanchun said again: "It's a pity that the second elder brother is not in that school now, otherwise he can go to and from school with Lang Geer."

Baoyu said: "If you want me to say, it's better to let the master hire another master for Lan Geer to study at home alone, and the school will be chaotic."

"The Master said: If three of you walk together, there must be my teacher. Brother Lang learned well there, and he also devoted himself to teaching the old man. One thing more is worse than one thing less." Hearing this, Youyi said, "That's it. Well, next year the Spring Festival will be held, and it is also the year of the exam, so I want to let him go back to Jinling to have a try, so that he can know his level."

When Baoyu heard this, he frowned and said, "Langoer has such a noble background, why should he go to the place where those stupid thieves are?"

Sanchun was helpless when she heard the words, but Daiyu said: "According to what you say, my father and uncle are also stupid thieves? My father was born in Tanhua back then. Could it be more stupid than stupid?"

When Baoyu heard this, he was in a hurry: "That's not what I meant!"

He said embarrassingly again: "I said something wrong, please forgive me, sister."

All the people at the same table laughed, and Tanchun said: "There is someone who can cure your problem."

He asked again: "Why isn't the one who is following you today sister Xiren?"

Daiyu's complexion was not very good when she heard this. Baoyu smiled bitterly and said, "It was the old lady who rewarded her with 50 taels of silver and let her go home."

Yingchun is already at the age of knowing people and things, and the nuns around her also teach some things that a wife and a mistress should know. Seeing Daiyu like this, how could she not understand?He only said: "Since you have a big heart, it is right to send it out."

Baochai also said: "Fifty taels of silver is enough for her to buy a good dowry. What's more, the people in this mansion have always been generous. I think she has saved a lot of money over the years. After she goes out, her life will be easier."

"Let's not talk about these things anymore." Tanchun said, "What are you going to wear on the day of my mother's visit?"

So the topic of the table turned to the girls' attire. Baoyu gave advice enthusiastically, and Youyi listened casually while drinking tea, and occasionally gave advice with great interest.

Sitting beside Baochai, listening to Sanchun and Daiyu discussing these matters, gradually the smile on his face became more real.

While talking, someone from the other end came in to answer Wang Xifeng's words, and they wanted silk gauze to paste things, and they also wanted to open the warehouse to get gold and silver utensils. The room got busy again.

Youyi turned her head to look over there, and said to several people: "This end is getting busy, and it's a waste of time for us to keep it. Why don't you go and sit in the girl's room."

Then he said to Yingchun: "Didn't you say that your second elder brother Lian brought you some good tea from the south of the Yangtze River? Are you reluctant to bring it out to entertain us?"

Yingchun smiled and said: "If it's just them alone, of course it won't work. My sister-in-law is going, so naturally I will treat you with whatever is good."

So everyone laughed, and even Baochai smiled and said, "In this case, I have got the honor of my sister-in-law."

Inform Mrs. Wang again, and everyone moved to the Yingchun House.

Yingchun's room is simple, with a screen embroidered with flowers, birds and insects separating the inside and the outside. There are green potted plants on both sides. There are not many gold and jade playthings, but it is full of greenery and vitality, which makes people feel as soon as they enter. I like it very much.

Yingchun invited everyone to sit on the kang in the inner room, and ordered the little girl to carry two kang tables and put them on, and put all kinds of exquisite tea, fruit, snacks and snacks.He also brewed a pot of tea himself, and came over with a set of white porcelain tea clocks with flower and bird patterns, and said with a smile to everyone: "This tea is not a famous variety, but it doesn't taste the same as what we usually drink. "

Tanchun said: "That's very good. Anyway, the second brother Lian remembered to bring you something when he went out. Even if it's about saving face, he's much better than us."

"Speaking of Yangzhou, the duck egg powder brought back by sister Lin is better than what we usually use." Xichun said: "The oil smells good too, and it's rare that it's not so greasy."

"Knowing that you are picky, naturally I have to pick the best ones and bring them back to you," Daiyu said.

So the room became lively, and when they talked about the rouge and gouache in Beijing, Baoyu also chimed in with great interest, enjoying themselves.
