[Comprehensive Red House] Infinite Merit

[When I was young, I was in the room, honoring my mother, loving my elder brother, and being harmonious with my sisters.Married as a wife, respect parents-in-law, be kind to sister-in-law, take care of others, and do your best.After the husband's family is prosperous and defeated but not chaotic, he upholds the virtues of women and never abandons them.

Husband left without saying goodbye, leaving behind his belly, with elders in high places, once the vast family business was abandoned, and the concubine tried her best to support it, so strong that it will shine brightly in the future.

Now that I have gone down to Jiuquan, Xueshi Baochai asked her husband Baoyu three times: "Is Xueshi Baochai not loving?"Is Xue's Baochai not a virtuous person?Is Xue's Baochai immoral?

Baochai asked herself that she had no regrets, why was she abandoned by her husband?Why do you make your husband abandon it like a shoe?Why bear the heavy burden of Wan Jun as a woman, and be alone? 】

[If a fairy can help Baochai, Baochai wishes my Xue family to come back with glory and family fortune; my mother can have a young grandson Chenghuan, and a beautiful daughter-in-law to respect; elder brother... May he be able to continue the Xue family's descendants, Bao Xue's son kept breathing.For these three vows, Baochai is willing to exchange merits and virtues all over her body. 】

[Xue's Baochai, thank the immortal for his kindness. 】

It was hot summer, and the mansion of Xue's family, the imperial merchant of Jinling City, was the focus of everyone's attention these days. No, the current Xue family was no longer the original "Xue's mansion", but the mansion of "Jingde county lord".

Those who respect are called duan yue su, and those who are virtuous represent virtue. These two characters are the supreme virtues for women. Now they are combined in one person, which shows that they are extraordinary.

Four 30- to [-]-year-old men in green coats and commoners were sitting on the bench in the gatehouse, with respectful faces, and one could tell at a glance that the host was extraordinary.

A man dressed in commoner clothes chatted with the peddler and said, "What is the origin of this family, that there is a plaque bestowed by the imperial pen?"

The peddler was taken aback by the question, and smiled: "Isn't the guest officer a local?"

The man smiled shyly: "A certain one is from the north and is a merchant."

The peddler smiled knowingly: "That's it, you don't know, this mansion was originally the mansion of the Xue family, one of the best families in Jinling, and his family was originally very prestigious, but it was one of the four major families. Ziwei family, relatives and friends in the capital are countless powerful people! The year before last, the master of the Xue family went, and there were three orphans and widows at home, and the eldest son was the most confused and bastard. I thought this Xue family would not be successful. Somehow, It was the big girl who stood up. I heard that she was very resourceful and the business was well managed, and she was stable for a while. It's just that it's a girl's family, and she has an elder brother. What Madam Xue meant, everyone The karma should still be given to the son.”

The merchant shook his head again and again: "Mrs. Xue is confused!"

"Why don't you say that." The peddler also sighed repeatedly: "Then Miss Xue is the most kind person. In those days when the steward was a housekeeper, she distributed money and food to build roads and donate. Although she was strict with the subordinates, she was extremely considerate. People, the business of the Xue family is in her hands, and it is much better than before! I heard from Xue's family that they secretly hope that Miss Xue will be the master for a long time!"

After hearing this, the merchant sighed: "It's a pity that mother's life cannot be violated. But if this girl is really as good as you said, it would be a pity to be born as a daughter."

"Who says it's not? We all thought that if Miss Xue was a man, I'm afraid she would be able to make contributions!" The peddler said, laughing again: "But it is said that everyone has their own destiny. Last year, when I was drunk and riding a horse outside, I broke my leg and couldn't get out of bed again! Not to mention taking care of the family business, Mrs. Xue had no choice but to let Miss Xue decide. Said, this is also his retribution, who in Jinling doesn't know that he did all kinds of bad things outside with a few stinky money from his family, and the day he heard that he broke his leg, he wanted to fight with someone because of a girl! If Miss Xue hadn't stopped them in time, they would have lost their lives!"

After hearing this, Hong Shang took a deep breath: "There are such lawless people in the world!"

But the peddler said: "Don't talk about Xue Pan, but it is Miss Xue who is rewarded for being a good person. Just last month, our Majesty met an assassin during his southern tour in Weifu. Miss Xue was successful in saving him. What wish? Ms. Xue said: "The daughter of the people only wishes to be at the mother's knees for the rest of her life, take care of the family business, and never marry outside. Your Majesty personally allowed Ms. Xue to be the head of the Xue family, and also made the second-rank county head. I heard that It's the prince's daughter who can seal it! You heard that the plaques of "Home of Kindness" and "Ende Zepei" are still hanging in the main hall and ancestral hall of Xue's family! Miss Xue has a serious name now, we The Lord of Jinling will still kneel when he sees her, isn't it that good people are rewarded?"

The merchant nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "No wonder the woman's name plaque is hung in this big mansion, and it is written by the imperial pen."

"On the contrary, how do you, a foreigner, know that Yubi wrote it himself?" the peddler asked doubtfully.

The merchant's breath stopped suddenly. After all, he was well-trained, and he immediately realized: "This is not that I have walked in Chang'an City before, and I have seen several imperial pens and plaques. The Zhangzi underneath is not a joke."

"That's right, if you don't say it, you are still knowledgeable." The peddler sighed again and again: "If it weren't for my parents, mother-in-law and children at home, I would also like to go out for a walk."

The merchant joked with him again, bought two items from him, and left.

After the person walked away, the peddler just sneered and said in a low voice, "He's here again to inquire about the news."

The lady selling rouge and gouache smiled, and pushed him again: "Be careful, don't let people overhear. The master has ordered that all those who come to inquire about the news these days will be dismissed like this. Next time, you should praise the master more." , don't care what you are here for, you have to know whether our master is good or not."

It is only said that the county lord's mansion is located in a residence in the garden, surrounded by bamboos, and running water is drawn in front of the hall to make a pavilion and waterside pavilion. There is no serious partition, but it is a hidden place in the garden, which is very cool in summer.

There are six pink-clothed maidservants in the corridor, all dressed in the same clothes, all of them are beautiful and neat, they are sewing with their heads down, talking and laughing occasionally in a low voice, so as to ensure that they will not be heard in the room and disturb people's sleep.

The room was also quiet. The two maidservants in pink were waiting outside, looking a little sleepy, squinting their eyes, but trying to slow down their breathing so as not to disturb the people inside.

A beautifully carved partition, the moon door, separates the inner and outer rooms, and the veil of jade-colored embroidered poppies hangs gently, covering the scene of the inner room.

In the inner room, there are also two pink-clothed maidservants, who are dressed in the same clothes as those in the outer room and outside the house. They are both pretty and feminine, each with its own merits.But these two didn't dare to doze off anymore, one was more energetic than the other, they applied cooling mint ointment on their noses and temples, and sat on a felt cushion in the outer partition of the bedroom, always paying attention to the sound of breathing in the room.

There is a lotus-colored veil hanging in front of the simple couch. It is not a canopy bed that is common in Jiangnan, but it has a wider view than the canopy bed, and it is not stuffy in summer.

There is also a south window in the dormitory. At this time, it is in charge of the indoor air circulation, but the curtains are covered to ensure that no one outside the house can spy on the owner's sleeping.

The house has a good layout facing north and south. Under the north wall of the bedroom is a large log-colored cabinet. There is a dressing table under the east wall and on the side of the bed. It is right by the window, and the lighting is good. A simple low table is equipped with a sunflower mirror. On the side, there are two shelves of the same color as the low table, stacking various makeup boxes and jewelry boxes.

On the north side of the bed is a desk that is as wide as the bed and as high as the head of the bed. On it are simply placed a few books and a tea set. A small white jade bottle with a bamboo branch and leaf inserted looks very refreshing.

The furnishings in the bedroom are mainly simple and elegant, but it is not difficult to see that this place is just a summer resort, not a serious residence.

Youyi's habit is to sleep for half an hour at noon in summer, but it's not sleep. She closes her eyes to rest her mind and activates her internal energy, which can calm her body and mind and dispel the heat.

When the time came, Youyi opened her eyes on time.The two maidservants standing outside the veil got up with pocket watches, one pulled up the veil and signaled the people outside from the window, and the other entered the room with something in her hand to serve Youyi to rinse her mouth and drink water and quickly replied.

"Chen shopkeeper of Ande Square, please see me. The appointed day is tomorrow. The maidservant has made an appointment. It is for the cooperation of our restaurant." The maidservant Suiyun replied while serving Youyi to rinse her mouth.

Youyi nodded, with a calm face: "Then see you tomorrow, and tell the kitchen to prepare a feast."

"Yes." Sui Yun agreed with a smile, and offered You Yi the set of white porcelain jasmine-pattern covered bowls: "Today I prepare lotus leaf, chrysanthemum, and wolfberry tea for you, and Heyu's prescription. This clears the liver and improves eyesight."

There are dozens of maids around Youyi, Suiyun, Zhuyan, Qiongzhi, and Heyu. One is good at cooking and the other is good at medicine, Zhi and Yu are in charge of the small kitchen, and the other is in charge of Youyi's Four Seasons soup, but they work together most of the time.However, Youyi's small kitchen only serves Youyi to eat and drink, and the two of them will be by Youyi's side when they are free.

Among the remaining maids, Bai Zhi and Bai Shao serve closely with Sui Yun, and Jia Kang works in the small kitchen, and is Qiong Zhi's subordinate.Hongshao is good at embroidery and brings two maids to take charge of Youyi's personal clothes.The soft sound of the pipa is superb, and Sui Yunmanxi's martial arts are exquisite, and it is Yuyi Jinwei.

Among them, the outstanding ones are as above. Although the rest are mediocre, they are all smart people who have been carefully selected, and their appearance is naturally outstanding.

In addition, there are four foster mothers and nurses, but they have been home two years ago, and now they receive money and food every month, and the family members are all working in Xue's residence, and their lives are also nourishing.

After drinking tea, Zhu Yan, Qiongzhi, and Heyu from outside also came in, and after saluting to Youyi, they helped her dress and change her clothes and make up the pillow and bed.

The six little girls all saluted and greeted Youyi outside the south window of the dormitory with the curtains drawn. The voices of the pretty and upright girls were also crisp and lively, which was really pleasing to the eye.

Youyi sat in front of the dressing table to do her makeup. Bai Zhi came in from outside, saluted Youyi outside the bedroom, and said softly, "Nurse Zhou is here and wants to greet you."

"It's been so long since you've been out that you don't know the rules? Why did you come in at this time when the master is dressing up? You also came in to report?" Zhu Yan frowned and scolded.

Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "I know my mistake."

Youyi said lightly: "Forget it, forget it this time, not next time."

"Yes." Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Youyi again: "Listen to Mammy sitting outside, serving tea, and I will go out after finishing my hair."

Bai Zhi bowed in response, bowed back, went out and said to a well-dressed middle-aged woman: "The county magistrate is doing her makeup, Grandma Zhou just sit and wait."

At this moment, Nanny Zhou realized the time, and said in her heart: something bad happened.After all, thinking that Youyi treated them preferentially, Nanny Zhou smiled and followed Bai Zhi to sit outside, and the maid Bai Shao brought tea to Nanny Zhou.

Nanny Zhou took a sip and frowned, "What kind of tea is this? Why don't you give me that good tea?"

Bai Shao hurriedly said: "This is Xiangpian tea. It is a gift from an outsider. They say it is an excellent tea, and the price of one tael is not cheap!"

After hearing this, Nanny Zhou opened her eyebrows, took a few more sips, and proudly said: "I have milked the county magistrate, the county magistrate drank my blood back then so that the breast milk grew so big, no matter how good the food is, I will drink it." And drink, eat, and use."

Bai Shao and Bai Zhi just listened to it, they looked at each other and smiled quietly, only the voice of Mother Zhou boasting was left in the room.
