[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

After Aunt Xue left, Ying'er came in to clean up. Seeing Baochai's dejected expression, she asked, "Why did Madam come here? She refused the marriage for no reason, and she didn't discuss it with the girl beforehand. What on earth is this?" Charter?"

Baochai shook her head and said: "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, why should she discuss with me. You girl talk strangely."

But Yinger said: "Even so, how can a girl be compared to an ordinary girl's family? I remember that there were so many things in the family back then, such as human relations, relatives' marriages, and my wife never discussed anything with the girl. How did it come to this lifelong event? Can't do it anymore?"

Baochai sighed: "Speak nonsense. How many people are there in this world who can decide their own decisions?" After a pause, Fang said: "Mother came this time just to question me and you. So what kind of friendship is there with Bohan's family in Jinxiang? In fact, I have no friendship with their family. What she said is just to show that the horses and chariots will be hanged on the tree of Jia's family."

Baochai seldom complained to her mother.It was the first time that Ying'er heard her talk about her mother in such an angry way. She was a little surprised, but she quickly came back to her senses and said quickly, "Could it be that the girl forgot that there is something wrong between us and Uncle Han's family in Jinxiang?" Friends. A few days ago, the girl told me to ask my brother to inquire about some people, saying that they were discussing about going to sea. My brother rushed to inquire, and told me yesterday that the few people who went to sea There is a man named Han in the Dong family. He said that it is Bo Han’s family in Jinxiang. He has already entrusted someone to set up the line. The girl said, isn’t this a marriage of thousands of miles, and the girl is planning to partner with them For business, the Han family came to propose marriage at this time."

Baochai was slightly surprised when she heard about it, but after thinking about it, she shook her head with a wry smile and said, "You are just talking nonsense, business is business, and marriage is marriage. Some people really think that I have something to do with that Han."

Yinger, however, was still in high spirits, making plans for Baochai: "Listen to what my brother said, among the few families that went to sea, the Uncle Jinxiang's family was the leader. Let's take a cold look, the Han family has a rich family background. It's very good. If you think about it, Mr. Jinxiang must also be a good-looking man, maybe he is worthy of a girl."

Baochai shook her head and said, "It's getting farther and farther away. When he indulges himself, what does he have to do with me? What's more, his mother has long since refused. Although the Jia family will try to appease the official media, but the Han family, In the end, it can be regarded as being humiliated by our family. In this way, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for us to do business with them. I only hope that the person in charge of the business will not pay attention to these mundane matters of marriage. It's better to talk."

Ying'er remembered that Aunt Xue had categorically rejected the Han family's marriage before, so she couldn't help sighing, and suddenly asked: "Just now I heard that the old lady in this house mentioned Miss Lin's marriage with Second Master Bao, what is the girl thinking?"

Speaking of this matter, Baochai was silent for a while, and Fang slowly said: "It wasn't the old lady who brought it up. It was Lian's second grandma. However, it's not bad. It's better if Lian's second grandma mentioned it. There is room for him, and he can get by in all respects. Looking at the meaning, there are sixty to seventy percent out of ten. Then it depends on whether the empress in the palace nods or not. It's just that although Brother Bao is honest, he has a temperament with Sister Lin. I have a speculative temper, but I don't like the economic and official career, but it makes people feel very embarrassed, I'm afraid that sister Lin is not entrusted with people. When I see him someday, I will always try to persuade him."

Seeing that she had no intention of marrying Baoyu at all, Ying'er thought of the rumors of gold and jade all these years, she couldn't help sighing, and said with emotion: "Everyone else thinks of the girl and also looks forward to marrying the second master of Bao, so they must not deal with Miss Lin, and they should be tit for tat everywhere. That's right. But I didn't expect that the girl was sincerely for Miss Lin, and she tried to seek medical treatment for her, not to mention the medicine, and she was afraid that she would entrust her to someone wrong, such a sister, I am afraid that there is nowhere to find such a sister with a lantern!"

Baochai saw her talking more and more outrageous, feeling both bitter and helpless, said: "Where is there so much to talk about! Hurry up and do something!"

But Ying'er did not leave, with a look of hesitation on her face, Baochai noticed, and when she questioned her, she said hesitantly: "There is one thing that people have been talking about, and Ying'er doesn't know whether to say it or not."

Baochai laughed helplessly and said, "Since I'm asking whether it's appropriate to speak, I just want to listen to it. You girl, you are playing mischievous things here!"

However, a solemn look appeared on Yinger's face, and she said, "It's not that Yinger is being mischievous. It's just that when you think about it carefully, it's a bit scary. Girl, don't be afraid."

Baochai thought to herself that she was a person who had died once, and that the world is so cold and people are warm and cold, so there is nothing to be afraid of. , and said to her: "The golden lock that the girl wore on her neck before, I am afraid it has a lot of history. These days, because the girl hated that thing, she threw it aside and refused to wear it, but we dare not put it casually. Put it next to the shrine in the back room, and receive some incense every day. Unexpectedly, the little maids who cleaned the house these days refused to go there. I asked and found out that they had heard the sound from the golden lock with their own ears. , and some people said that they saw a shadowy figure walking around in the house."

Baochai was also shocked when she heard the words, her complexion changed, she stood up immediately, and said to Ying'er, "If that's the case, take me there to have a look."

Ying'er was afraid of ghosts, so she couldn't help showing a bit of hesitation on her face, Baochai didn't urge her, she just walked ahead alone, and after a while, she came to the room where the shrine was enshrined, and when she opened the door, she saw that there was a lot of people on the ground in the huge room. It is full of dust, there are no fragrant flowers and fruits on the table, and the ashes in the incense burner are also cold.

Since remembering the past, Baochai has grown a little more in awe of the supernatural things in the world. She didn't say a word at the moment, but swept the room herself, washed her hands, and then picked it up. Three sticks of incense, and worshiped in front of the shrine.

At this time, Ying'er asked Qianxue to come together, and saw that the door was wide open, and Baochai was standing in front of the shrine. This place is actually very weird. The girl should come out and talk first."

But Baochai laughed and said, "It's all right, I'll make my own calculations."

Seeing this situation, Ying'er knew that she couldn't be persuaded, so she gritted her teeth and was about to go in to serve Baochai bravely, but Baochai had quick eyesight and quick hands, and closed the door from the inside first.

"You wait for me outside, don't come in." Baochai ordered.

Then she walked to the altar, slowly picked up the golden lock, and looked at it over and over again, with a calm expression on her face, as if she was very calm.

"Come out." She tapped the table with her hand and said lightly.People who have experienced being abandoned and framed by their family members and died silently will not be easily afraid of ghosts.What's more, it was talked to her repeatedly for more than ten years, so she is very familiar with it.

After an unknown amount of time, a pale woman slowly appeared in front of her.

"Who the hell are you?" Baochai asked, as if she had a strong confidence in her gestures.

"Jiao Xing. I'm Jiao Xing." The woman said, with a lovely and pitiful look, not at all like the domineering she was when she was in the golden lock.Maybe this is the real her, or it's because Baochai has discovered her true face, and she knows that she can no longer blackmail and deceive her?

The golden lock was held by Baochai, and it was her shelter.And Baochai can choose to wear it around his neck, or he can choose to melt it off directly, and even Aunt Xue can't dissuade it.

"Who is Jiao Xing? Have I met you before? Why are you trying to harm me?" Baochai asked.

"I... I was originally the maid of the Zhen family." Jiao Xing said timidly.Without the golden lock as her disguise, she was coquettish and timid when she spoke, vaguely still the maid who picked flowers in Zhen's garden back then.

That is really a lucky maid, named Jiao Xing, lucky everywhere.

At that time, Jia Yucun still lived in the Calabash Temple. He was full of poetry and books but suffered from having no money to go to Beijing to catch up with the exam. He deliberately made friends with Master Zhen Shiyin of Gusu.That day when Jia Yucun came to visit Zhen's mansion, Jiao Xing happened to be picking flowers in the garden. Because of her good appearance, her eyebrows were quite charming, which attracted Jia Yucun's attention.Seeing someone looking at her, Jiao Xing guessed that it must be Jia Yucun, as the master often said, and remembering that the master praised him for not being a person who has been in poverty for a long time, she was inevitably curious and looked back frequently.

Because of this romantic relationship, Jia Yucun pretended to be affectionate, thinking that Jiao Xing must be interested in him.In the midst of hardship, Jia Yucun was overjoyed to find a confidant with insight and insight, and kept it in his heart all the time.

Afterwards Zhen Yinglian got lost, the Gourd Temple caught fire, and the Zhen family was ruined. Became a concubine.

Jiao Xing's stomach was strong, and she gave birth to a son in just one year. Her luck was good, and another half a year passed. Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun's first wife fell ill and died.Just in time for Jiao Xing to be favored, she was helped to become the wife of the first wife.

Originally, for Jiao Xing, this was considered a step up to the sky, "Occasionally, just because of a mistake, she became a master".

It's a pity that Israel can't serve people and commit murder for a long time.

What kind of man is Jia Yucun, how can he be satisfied with a mere prince?Although he was dismissed by his boss with an excuse not long after, in a short while he used Jia and Wang's family to seek a job in Yingtian Mansion. Afterwards, he went around trying to cling to the powerful, and at one point even hooked up with Prince Zhongshun.

A person like him who is trying to make money, naturally needs a hall in the main room at home, which can stand the table, and there are many social occasions for noble ladies outside, if they are used properly, it will naturally be of great benefit to his official career.It's a pity that Jiao Xing was born as a maid, and she has never read the book, so how can she be expected to say something that will come out on stage?Whenever he socializes with noble ladies, he is ridiculed by others.

Originally, Jia Yucun had a bit of fascination and love for Jiao Xing, but when he saw this, he even felt disgusted.

If she met others, Jiao Xing would be cautious in every way, guarding her son's life, not going out from the door, not going to the second door, eating fast and reciting Buddha every day, and ignoring her husband's doting on the newcomer, I'm afraid she can still save her life .But her husband, Jia Yucun, has always been decisive in killing and attacking, with a thick face and a dark heart, how can he be compared with ordinary people?That was a master who, just to please Jia She when the Rongguo Mansion was prominent, could force the stone nerd's family to ruin because of a few broken fans.

Sure enough, not long after, the Xue family begged for Xue Pan's affairs, threatening to send Baochai as a concubine.Jia Yucun had heard that Baochai was the former second grandmother of Bao, and she heard that she was a decent person, and she thought she was a good helper for her husband and children, so she wanted to ask Jiao Xing to make room for her, and she took away Jiao Xing with a random dose. Xing's life is only said to be sick and died, and the method is exactly the same as when Fujiao Xing came to power.
