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

Baochai laughed and said, "I'm just going to discuss this matter with my mother. Logically, we are relatives and often live in the second aunt's house. Even if the old lady and uncle don't dislike it, we don't know that the villain is not chewing his tongue behind his back." I remember that our family has quite a few houses in the capital, so it’s better to choose a house that is close to your eyes, clean it up, and move there.”

It turned out that in the previous life, Baochai had been living in Jia's house because of her mother's and elder brother's refusal.Because of this, many servants slandered and said that she fell in love with the second master Bao of Jia's mansion.

The people of Ningrong and Rongfu had mixed thoughts, and the people of Baochai were soft-spoken, so it was expected that they would not be able to persuade them by themselves.The most urgent task at the moment is to persuade the mother and elder brother to put aside the relationship as much as possible.

It's just that Baochai's painstaking efforts cannot be understood by Aunt Xue.When Aunt Xue heard that she was going to move out, she became anxious, pointing at Baochai and crying and cursing: "Your father left early, I don't think I will have a good life for a few years. Now in this Jia's mansion, talk to your second aunt Homely, but my heart is more stable. Could it be that you don’t even care about your own mother just because you are afraid of others chewing on your tongue? You are a rebellious girl, your brother Bao is not worthy of you, your second aunt is willing to think highly of you. The blessings that come here are here to pick and choose. Now you are trying to move out, don't you think your second aunt and the empress in the palace value you, so you put your tail up to the sky, and start to domineering and oppress you Thinking of your own mother? God, such an unfilial daughter, why didn't the gods send lightning to kill her?"

Baochai expected in advance that Aunt Xue would not be willing to do so easily, and there would be a lot of verbal lawsuits, so she thought of many words to dissuade her, but she didn't expect that Aunt Xue would not give her a chance to speak at the beginning, and would take the big issue of being unfilial when she came up. Hats crush people.Baochai was stunned for a moment.

Thinking about it carefully, this is the second time Aunt Xue got angry at her like this.The last time I got angry was because of Xiangling.It's just that Baochai thinks that this time is very different from what happened to Xiangling, and it's all for the sake of Xue's family and Xue's mother and son. The fierceness caught him off guard.

When talking about the past life, Baochai didn't feel sorry for Aunt Xue and Xue Pan at all.On the contrary, it was Xue's mother and son who first sold their sisters to seek glory, and then hit the rocks later. What's even more ridiculous is that during the period, the Xue family's actions were wrong, and there were several omissions that had to be saved by Baochai Huizhi's heart and painstaking efforts.

I still remember that when Aunt Xue watched and let Xue Pan's wife bully Baochai, she once said the truth: "Don't blame your mother for being cruel, and let others bully you. This is fate, and there is nothing you can do about it." You are mother's own flesh and blood, so there is no reason not to love you. But Pan'er is your mother's lifeblood, and the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh, but after all, there are distant relatives. What in the world Is there any reason to implicate the son in order to protect the daughter? You have to blame, you blame yourself for not being a son!"

I remember that at that time, Baochai felt cold all over his body, but he had no choice but to weep silently, and then fled alone while others were unprepared, and finally lost his way and died of hunger and cold in the ice and snow.

Now that the world has turned around, it is pitiful to see such a chance to start all over again, if Baochai has no grievances in his heart, that is also impossible.It's just that she has been trying her best to convince herself that there are only wrong children in the world, and there are no wrong parents. Even if parents have something wrong with their children, they should accept it calmly and not feel resentful.

However, at this time, she was still willing to put aside her previous suspicions and plan for Xue's mother and son, but it was Aunt Xue who complained first.This turn of events made Baochai unexpected.

In fact, Baochai didn't know that people are not sages, how can they repay hatred with kindness and deal with it calmly?She wholeheartedly wanted not to ask about the past, and tried her best to treat Xue's mother and son as beautiful as before, but she was powerless and could not return to her original state of mind.

This subtle change was vaguely noticed by Aunt Xue. Maybe Aunt Xue still couldn't understand the cause and effect of the change, but she subconsciously felt jealous and guarded against this daughter.

In addition, after Baochai was reincarnated as a human being, under the instigation of the voice in Jinsuo, he played sideways and took care of the shop outside. The talents he displayed were far more aggressive than those in his previous life.

Because of these reasons, since Baochai had such a serious illness and woke up, Aunt Xue was more and more afraid of this daughter from the bottom of her heart.Although Baochai made a plan with good intentions, in her opinion, she couldn't understand the intention. Subconsciously, she thought it was because Baochai hated her and Mrs. Wang for the sake of the palace election, so she tried to alienate them.

Aunt Xue was originally a woman with little ability, neither Baochai's eloquence of persuading people with great principles, nor Wang Xifeng's eloquence of refined wisdom.She was just like any vulgar and ignorant woman in the world, she had no choice but to use the big hat of filial piety to suppress others in a fit of rage, to hide her inexplicable fear.

Baochai was stunned and could not make a sound for a moment.However, Aunt Xue thought she had gained power, so she uttered a set of common rhetoric used by ignorant women to accuse their children of being unfilial. Think of Baochai as a heinous and rebellious girl.

Aunt Xue's outburst was unexpected for everyone present.In fact, Xue Pan, Jia Zhen and other scoundrels are having a hot fight, and they are very reluctant to move out. They are about to speak against Baochai, but Aunt Xue will act this one unexpectedly.Needless to say those rebuttals, she hurriedly persuaded Aunt Xue to calm her anger, and jumped her feet anxiously: "On weekdays, my mother said that I am too reckless, and I always make troubles, and I am afraid that my relatives will hear the jokes. Now I am fine, Why did Mom get up like this? If this gets out, where do you want our family’s face to go?”

Aunt Xue pointed at Baochai and said bitterly: "There are so many things that people laugh at! Have you ever seen a younger sister who let her brother's concubine go? Have you ever seen a daughter who bullies her mother-in-law everywhere? "She is usually an old and mean woman, but now she only talks, because she feels that the momentum is not enough, but she also treats gold and silver like dung for a moment, looks around, and sees a white porcelain tureen from an official kiln on the table. When a bowl of tea was full, he grabbed it and threw the tea and bowl at Baochai.

Unexpectedly, their quarrel had alarmed Baochai's wet nurse, Nanny Zhang.When she heard something strange in the voice, she secretly stood aside and waited. When she saw Aunt Xue picking up the tea bowl with anger, she knew something was wrong. on her.

The tureen slipped off Nanny Zhang, rolled and shattered into several pieces.Nanny Zhang's clothes were wet a lot, but she didn't care to clean it up, she just knelt down to apologize to Aunt Xue and persuaded her to calm down.

Aunt Xue saw that the official kiln's bodiless white porcelain cover bowl was really broken, and she felt a little regretful in her heart, and her heart ached so badly, she was even more angry with Zhang Nanny, pointing at Zhang Nanny and scolding: "I am in October! Pregnant and laboriously giving birth to a daughter, but she was taught badly by you black-hearted and rotten people. Don't follow the right path, but just think about bullying her mother and brother!"

Nanny Zhang held back her humiliation and confessed her crimes again and again, but Aunt Xue stopped and took Xue Pan with her for dinner angrily.

Baochai was disheartened by this turn of events, all the rhetoric she had planned had come to naught, and she was stunned.She didn't know when Aunt Xue and Xue Pan left, and turned a deaf ear to what was going on.

I don't know how long it took before Baochai heard the voice again.But I saw Zhang Mama frantically putting a food box of vegetables in front of Baochai, and said with a smile: "Miss, eat some food. The wife is just angry for a while, and it will be fine after a while. If the girl doesn't eat , What is the root cause of the disease, how can this happen."

When Baochai looked intently, he saw that there were people around him, but it was Yinger, Qianxue, Yingerniang, Chen Yi's family and other old and young people, all looking at him with concerned eyes, and paying attention to the food. The things in the box are all the dishes I usually like to eat.At the moment, he had to force a smile and said, "What are you doing? Are you still afraid that I will be overwhelmed?"

Ying'er and the others didn't dare to say yes, and it was hard to say no, so they all kept their heads down and didn't speak, but they refused to leave.

Baochai was helpless, and said again: "So many people are looking at me, how can I eat? Well, Yinger, you stay, and everyone else goes away first, and let me be quiet." Having said that, For some reason, there was already a crying sound.

Everyone didn't dare to fight each other, and retreated one after another.Ying'er was about to serve her, but Madam Zhang said, "Ying'er, go and eat yourself, I'm here."

While Ying'er hesitated, Mammy Zhang said again, "Let us both have a few words, too."

Seeing that Baochai just looked at the dishes on the table without speaking, Yinger couldn't help feeling very sad.

According to the rules of this old house of clocks and tripods, the wet nurse is always somewhat respectable in front of the master, and cannot be compared with ordinary slaves. Therefore, Yinger did not dare to force her when she saw Zhang Nanny persisted. Mama was also for Baochai's good, but she hoped that she could coax Baochai to turn her sorrow into joy, so she quietly retreated outside the door.

Then Nanny Zhang slowly led Baochai to the table, waited for her to sit down, and served her dishes.Seeing that Baochai was in a daze, looking like she couldn't eat, she sighed and advised, "Miss, eat a little too. Don't starve to death."

Baochai didn't answer, she was silent for a long while, and then asked Nanny Zhang: "Mother was accidentally splashed with tea on her skirt, but was she ever scalded?"

Seeing that Baochai was still so meticulous when she was in a depressed mood, Mammy Zhang sighed inwardly, and replied, "Thank you for thinking about it, miss. I'm a rough-skinned old man, where did I get burned?" Taking a step forward, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the bowl of tea has been left to dry outside for a long time, and it's already cold. It can be seen that although the wife made the move with anger, she has a sense of proportion in her heart. It can be seen that she still loves the girl."

Baochai was touched by her words, and couldn't bear it any longer, so she threw herself into Zhang Nanny's arms and began to cry, just like she did when she was a very small child.

Nanny Zhang embraced Baochai with mixed feelings.She seems to have returned to when she was young. At that time, although she was a widow at a young age, she was still glamorous. When she was wandering around with Xiao Baochai in her arms, she could get a vote wherever she went. Envious eyes.

But such feelings are only fleeting.Seeing that Baochai had cried enough, Mammy Zhang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and helped her wash her face again.

After Baochai gradually recovered, Mother Zhang said: "I was in a daze just now, and suddenly remembered something about the girl when she was young. When the girl was young, Yuxue was the cutest. I walked all the way in my arms, and everyone saw her. People boast that this girl will have a great fortune in the future, and even those of us who are servants will be blessed with good luck."

This is the truth.Baochai was born well since she was a child, so her father especially valued her, making her read and practice calligraphy, and specially invited her aunt and grandma Sun who was released from the palace to teach etiquette, which was far-reaching.

However, Baochai recalled what happened to her, whether it was her downfall to death in her previous life, or her failure in the palace election in this life, and being misunderstood by her mother and elder brother again, how could it be a little bit of luck?Feeling ashamed, she blushed and said, "Mom, I..."

Sister Zhang waved her hands with a smile, and instead of teaching Baochai to continue, she said slowly: "Now that the girl has grown up, she is really well-groomed, besides, she is smart and capable, much better than those men outside. Although the girl ordered I don’t want to say anything, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, those servants have heard about it these days, when seeing us, which one didn’t look at us high and kept praising us for being blessed?”

Baochai felt even more ashamed when she heard this, but Madam Zhang said, "Miss, don't you think that those servants thought that the girl was going to enter the palace, so they praised us so much? If you think so, you are wrong! Since the girl ordered Chen Yi's mistress Since I took care of the silk and satin shop, I have opened a cloth shop again. I don’t know how many families have been supported. Take Chen Yi’s family as an example. I have to complain a few times. Now, thanks to the girl, I got a job as a silk and satin factory, and my family is no different from that of a small country gentleman outside. Isn’t this all the girl’s ability?"

Baochai knew about these things.She is indeed talented in business, and when the time is right, she has indeed made a lot of money, and the servants under her deeds are also very rich.It was just because it came so easily, that she didn't pay much attention to the money at all, and she only valued Aunt Xue a hundred times higher.Now Aunt Xue accuses her of being unfilial indiscriminately, leaving her speechless and frustrated.

"It's just that everything depends on blessings and misfortunes. I'm afraid that the girl is too capable to offend the wife." Zhang Momo took the opportunity to say.

Baochai was puzzled, but she also guessed that this was what Zhang Nanny wanted to say, so she hurriedly asked why.Only then did Zhang Momo say: "I was just guessing randomly. If I guess wrong, don't blame me. As the saying goes, if parents are there, there is no selfish wealth. Girl, please think carefully about what this is for? Now, by accident, The girl has a shop by her side, a lot of gold and silver in her hands, and she often persuades the wife with words. The girl may think that the family is as one, and the good medicine is good for the disease, but in the eyes of the wife, it may be that the girl is relying on her selfishness. Wealthy and confident, deliberately disobeying his wife."

Baochai was taken aback, and after thinking about it for a while, she felt that what Zhang Nanny said made sense.Although she relied on this shop and gold and silver money because of her previous life experience, she could not easily hand over these things to Aunt Xue and let Xue Pan squander them, but after hearing what Aunt Zhang said, she knew that Aunt Xue It wasn't that she hated her daughter, but unconsciously, her mood improved.

Baochai didn't want Madam Zhang to serve her at the moment, so she asked her to sit together. The two mothers had dinner affectionately, and then closed the door early, planning the night in secret in their own room, lamenting that everything was difficult. A lot of planning is required.Regarding the matter of the Xue family's mother and son, they should not be overly persuasive when they are in a hurry, and they have to let it go.

Having made up her mind, Baochai went to Aunt Xue's room to pay her respects the next day, as if nothing had happened. When she saw Aunt Xue's strange words, she endured them one by one, pretending not to hear them; , in a calm tone, advising him not to have more contact with Feng Ziying and others, after Xue Pan categorically refused, he no longer tried to persuade him.

After Aunt Xue's outburst, she originally thought that Baochai must have tried to find a way to do her best to save her, and she just took advantage of this opportunity to vent her long-standing grievances.Unexpectedly, Baochai treated her indifferently and calmly, not as hard-working as before, and couldn't help panicking, and people before and after once again scolded Baochai for being unfilial.

It's just time to see people's hearts.The Xue family has been in Jia's mansion for more than two years, and Baochai's temperament has been praised by the Jia family from top to bottom.What's more, since the Xiangling incident, many Jia family members have privately lamented that Aunt Xue was unreasonable, went to war for trivial matters, and abused their own daughters. On the contrary, there are more people with hairpins.
