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

Ying'er and Qianxue looked at each other, both lowered their heads and responded.

Baochai laughed and said, "I'm watching from the sidelines. I'm afraid this is a common problem when we ordinary people speak. Originally, we came here to talk about this matter, but we talked about other things. It's even more disturbing." It's a pity that because of different ideas on other things, you say you are right, and I say I am right, but they got into an argument over this. The fight was so dark that I got a lot of sulking, but in the end, I found that I wanted to say That thing just started."

Ying'er and Qianxue didn't understand what it meant, they just listened quietly.Baochai said again: "But in the world, a hundred kinds of rice feed a hundred kinds of people, and each person's views and views are naturally different. Sometimes there is no right or wrong. But the world insists on fighting for a win or a loss, and it is right or wrong. They won the quarrel, but they completely forgot their original intentions. Or because of the emotional dispute over this idea, the two friends felt uncomfortable in their hearts, isn’t it because of a small loss? "

Ying'er and Qianxue hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, we both know it in our hearts, it's just a joke, we definitely won't take it to heart."

Baochai nodded and said, "I know you two are doing it for my own good. I also don't like Mr. Yao's way of speaking, but with a bit of cleverness, he treats everyone in the world as fools. You can see If you are not used to it, you can’t see it. Is it because of this that you can’t get along with her? This is not the principle of doing business. Our family pays attention to harmony and prosperity in business. There are many ways to know more people. If you don’t like a person, you won’t be with her If you go back and forth, the road will only get narrower and narrower. She must not like me, but she still came here to look for me. It can be seen that even Mr. Yao knows this truth. Are you two inferior to her?"

Qianxue said: "She came to look for a girl because there are girls who can do her best. But she looks like this when she asks for help. She deserves to be bumped into walls everywhere and can't accomplish anything."

Baochai smiled and said, "How do you know that I didn't ask her to do something?"

Ying'er was shocked and said: "What kind of ability does she have that the girl values ​​so much?"

Baochai sighed and said, "Because what she is going to do, I just happen to want to do it too."

Ying'er and Qianxue looked at each other, both shocked.The two were silent for a while, and then Ying'er asked cautiously: "But didn't the girl say that Mr. Yao has great ambitions and lack of talent, and that he can't make things happen with his gossip to confuse people?"

Baochai said: "Yes. Until now, I still feel that she has a lot of ambition. Her idea is certainly good. She wants to find a place for her daughter's family in the world. It's just that it's easy to say, but it's a lot to do. It was hard. She coaxed everyone over with her boastful talk, but she was unable to settle it properly. She was so careless, even if it went well for a while, sooner or later there would be a big mistake. However, I have been ill recently, and I suddenly figured something out In this world, our girl’s family is lucky to be able to rely on her father, brother, husband, and grandchildren, but if there is really a way out, wouldn’t it be more reassuring? I think a single tree cannot make a forest, and she cannot support herself after all. , even if Nanny Sun is included, it is limited, but if I take care of her from the sidelines, if it really works, wouldn't it be beneficial to others and myself?"

This is Baochai's sincere words.Ever since she recalled the past, she has been worried about the tragic fate of the sisters in the Grand View Garden. She only feels like a sharp sword is hanging above her head, and she is restless all night.

The sisters in the Grand View Garden, such as Yan'er, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, etc., are either peerless in talent and appearance, or gentle and uncontested, or high-minded, or innocent and immature. They should be the most delicate and beautiful flowers in the greenhouse, but they are killed by the wind knife. Forced by Frost Sword, she may die early in tears, marry poorly, marry in a foreign country, or beg for food in black clothes; another example is mandarin ducks, chess, Qingwen, Xiren and other maids, each of which is exquisite, crisp and generous, or Ingenious, or prudent, they should have their own persistence and their own destination, but they are burdened by the world, or forced to be buried, or insulted, trampled to death, or used as a plaything to match with others at will...

And Baochai herself, forced to marry Jia Baoyu, was betrayed and abandoned by her mother and elder brother one after another, and finally died of hunger and cold...

If the daughter's family just keeps quiet and gentle, doesn't care about worldly affairs, just closes the door to take care of her husband and children, and take care of the three-acre land in the house, will it really be stable in this world?Even if her parents-in-law value her, her sister-in-law is harmonious, and her husband respects her, how can she sit back and relax?Once the building is about to collapse, no matter how ingenious the daughter's family is, it will be difficult to cook without rice.If the house is in ruins and there is no food to eat, what should we do with ourselves?

If it is true that Daughter Valley is built by luck, this pure land will naturally be the way out for Daughter's family.So Baochai thought for many days before inviting Nanny Sun and Yao Jing to test her speech skills in order to make another plan.

Of course, it's not too much to speculate.Baochai didn't expect at first that it would be so difficult to talk to Yao Jing.Because of Yao Jing's prejudice against Baochai, she always took the opportunity to find Baochai when she was talking, and the two of them didn't argue for a long time about trivial matters. Yao Jing has already left without saying goodbye, but the matter of Daughter Gu is just the beginning.

Ying'er always looked forward to Baochai's horse's head. Hearing this, her eyes were wide open, but she was speechless for a while.At this time, the little maids knocked on the door and came in, bringing the freshly made sour soup from the kitchen, Baochai stopped talking, and told the two of them to drink some sour soup to sober up, and then make plans.

At this moment, Chen Yi's family came to the room and asked, "Is the girl in the room?" What's the matter.When he was busy ordering her to come in and answer, she heard that it was her youngest son who sent someone to report that last time the eldest princess Her Royal Highness went out for a walk in low clothes again and was sitting and drinking tea in the silk and satin farm.The youngest son didn't dare to be good at it, so he sent a message and asked Baochai to make a decision.

Baochai was startled when she heard this, and her heart skipped a beat.

She asked herself that she didn't have any friendship with the eldest princess, and besides, in the previous life, although the eldest princess was famous for a while, the end was tragic. She was exposed to be in collusion with some followers of Tianli sect, and died violently within a few days , I think it's probably because the royal family bestowed dove wine or white silk on the dead.

For this reason, Baochai still wanted to stay far away from this person in this life, so as not to get involved.Therefore, Yao Jing repeatedly asked her to follow the path of the eldest princess, but she sternly rejected them all, refusing to leave the slightest leeway.

However, judging from the news sent by the third son, could it be that the eldest princess really appreciates herself?Otherwise, why come here several times?No matter whether it is appreciation or deliberate trouble, if one is not handled properly, it will offend the nobleman, and it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Since that's the case, Xixue, you stay at home as gatekeeper, and Yinger, you go to find Madam Zhang and ask her to tidy up. Let's go to the silk and satin shop quickly." Thinking of this, Baochai hurriedly ordered.

The people in the room were anxiously preparing to go out. Unexpectedly, just as they reached the gate, they suddenly saw Lin Daiyu and Zijuan coming from the corridor over there.

Baochai was stunned for a moment.

Since the Grand View Garden was first built, the Xue family has moved away from Lixiangyuan, and chose a quiet courtyard in the northeast corner, which is much farther away from the sisters than before, so most of the time it is Baochai who goes to Mrs. Wang or Jiamu is looking for sisters to play.What's more, Daiyu has always been weak, and she was originally a quiet person who didn't like to move, but now she came all the way here, which is really surprising.

On the contrary, it was Daiyu who greeted Baochai first, and said to Baochai with a smile, "Hey, this is a bad luck for me. Where are you going, Sister Bao?"

If there were a lot of guests on weekdays, Baochai would put down her work and entertain the distinguished guests warmly.But at this time it is not possible.

The Eldest Princess is the favorite of His Royal Highness's family, and she is not a master who is easily dismissed. Chen San is young and can do business, but it is difficult for him to come forward to deal with such nobles.

Because Baochai wanted to threaten her with wings, she flew to the silk and satin village in an instant to make a rescue, even Daiyu came in person, but she couldn't care less.

Ever since Baochai recalled the events of her previous life, she had always avoided Daiyu. For some reason, she dared not look her directly in the eyes. There was something important going on here, and someone was sent from outside to say that I had to go there quickly. My sister rarely comes here on weekdays, but this is a coincidence, and there is really nothing I can do. My mother is not here at this time. My sister is leaving After such a long journey, I’m tired even thinking about it, why don’t you go inside and sit down, taste the maple tea brewed by Qianxue, and eat a few pieces of newly baked golden silk from Zhiweizhai, how about it?”

Daiyu's face changed several times when she heard the words, and finally she couldn't help but said, "Could it be that I came here to eat this bowl of maple tea? Yes, what happened today was indeed a coincidence, there is no way out. It's just that I I ordered Xueyan to invite you over again and again, and you promised every time, but you still haven't been seen, so it's just a coincidence, there's nothing you can do about it?" After saying that, she turned around and walked away without listening to others.

Zijuan also sighed at the side: "Miss Bao, don't blame our girl for being petty. We are maids, but we have to say something fair at this time. Our girl made rose salt some time ago, and I dare not To enjoy it alone, I specially ordered Xueyan to invite Miss Bao to come over, and wanted to give some to Miss Bao. Unexpectedly, Miss Bao, you promised every time, but never passed. She finally recovered today, so she took me to send it to Miss Bao Miss Bao is in a hurry to go out again today. Even though the clay figurines are still somewhat earthy, let alone our girl? So she is annoyed. Miss Bao must have something urgent to come, so we dare not delay it. It was pretending to be rose nitrate, and my girl ordered me to bring it here. If our girl is impolite, please forgive me for the sake of rose nitrate."

Baochai looked at the small sandalwood box containing rose nitrate held in Zicuckoo's hand, and remained silent.

Zijuan was sent by Mother Jia to serve Daiyu. No matter in her past life or her present life, she tried her best to make Baochai marry, so she has always been hostile to Baochai.Although her words were a bit aggressive at this time, they were well-founded and carried a lot of weight.

Ying'er was listening to what Zijuan said, with a look of displeasure on her face.Baochai's family was at a loss, so they didn't say much, but took the small sandalwood box with their own hands, ordered Qianxue to keep it, and said to Zijuan, "thank you for me. Please also tell your girl: today The problem is that I was not the first, so I can't blame her for having resentment. It's just that there is indeed an important matter in the shop, and I can't get away, so let me make amends in the future. Qianxue, you are welcome to entertain Zijuan!"

As he spoke, he took Mama Zhang, Ying'er and others out.Qianxue hurriedly asked Zijuan to sit in the room, Zijuan was stunned for a while, and sighed: "I originally thought that the two of them must be fighting secretly. Unexpectedly, now one always hides and refuses to see people, while the other rushes Came here to care, but threw that young master over the wall. If people don't know, they really think that their sisters are deeply in love!"

At this time, Qianxue gradually woke up, and replied with a smile: "Sister Zijuan, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"

Zijuan was so angry that she cursed bitterly: "This little hoof pretends to be fine! I thought that the two of us grew up together when we were young, and we had a good relationship with each other, so I dared to say this in front of you. I didn't expect you to fall into trouble now! Put on a show! Forget it, just say it out, and say it was me who said it, if there’s anything wrong, I’ll take it!” After saying that, he walked away.

Qianxue smiled and looked at Zijuan's disappearing figure, and for some reason, there was a bit of worry between her brows.
