After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Qingbi hated secretly, on the one hand felt that she had failed the trust of his wife and uncle, on the other hand felt that Xingzi's little hoof was shameless and rushed to stick it on the men.

She quickly called the two rough maids in the yard, regardless of Xingzi's struggle, twisted her arms and carried her out.

Then he hurriedly pleaded guilty to Jia Jing, who was drunk and woke up, with a black face: "Master, it's because of the negligence of the servants that this little hoof has a chance to take advantage of it. Please punish me."

Jia Jing drank hangover soup before going to bed, and now the alcohol has dissipated, but because he was woken up not long after falling asleep, he only felt a headache.

Pian Xingzi was yelling for fear of being kicked out when he saw something bad happened, which made him feel like his brain was about to explode.

Qingbi had someone wring her out, and there was a sudden silence in the room, which made Jia Jing really heave a sigh of relief.

Therefore, facing Qingbi, he was much more tolerant, holding his forehead and said: "She has a big mind, and she can always find loopholes, it's none of your business. Okay, you go out, I'll sleep for a while. "

It directly cut off Qingbi's possible insistence on pleading guilty.

"Thank you, sir."

Qingbi winked, seeing that Jia Jing was obviously too noisy, so she didn't say anything more, kowtowed to thank him, then gently stepped forward to help Jia Jing lie down, and tucked the blanket for him.

She turned around and looked at the ice in the ice basin by the screen, seeing that there was still enough ice, she slowly backed out.

When she got out of the room, her face fell, and she glared fiercely at Taozi, Lizi and Juzi who were standing by the door with their heads bowed, and said in a low voice, "Shut up, come with me!"

The three of them looked at each other apprehensively, they all shrank their necks and followed Qingbi's footsteps, scolding Xingzi bloody in their hearts.

Especially oranges, I can't wait to tear Xingzi's mouth.

Among the four second-class maids, Taozi and Lizi are in charge of sewing in Jia Jing's house, while Xingzi and Juzi are in charge of various chores together.

Now that Xingzi has done such a shameless thing, she must be imprisoned.

Qingbi led them out of the inner room and walked to the remote corridor, then stopped, and reprimanded them coldly: "You are looking at the kindness of your wife, and you are not doing your work wholeheartedly, huh? Seeing next year The grandma is about to enter, and the wife is tidying up the uncle's room, why did you let her run into the uncle's room?"

Taozi and Lizi looked at each other, Taozi said: "My sister knows us, it's hot now, this year because of the old lady in the West Mansion, there is not enough ice in the mansion, we both love to go to the pavilion in the small garden on weekdays Doing needlework in the cool air. We really don't know about Xingzi."

Qingbi glanced at the two of them, and then asked Juzi: "What about you? You have always been with that little hoof, and you don't know?"

Juzi was so frightened that she cursed and swore: "Sister, my good sister. Xingzi usually likes to rely on his wife as the kitchen steward to avoid laziness, and I have to help her with all the work. Today, the uncle drank like that, My sister also knows that I am busy taking the little girls and a few women to sweep the house. Xingzi told me that she is not feeling well, and she wants to go back to the house to lie down. This is her usual excuse, so I also Didn't suspect her. Who knows..."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Qingbi also knew that she was not to blame for this matter, so she said: "You guys, be smarter in the future, I will go back to my wife, you guard the door of the uncle, don't Then ask someone to take advantage of the loophole."

The three girls agreed again and again.

Qingbi sighed, and went to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Xu.

She also blamed Kyoko in her heart.

You said that if you succeed in doing this, that's all. No matter whether the wife likes it or not, as long as the uncle likes you, the wife will not say anything.

The point is that you don't have that ability, and it's tiring for nothing.

But after Jia Jing lay down again, he had a headache and couldn't sleep, he tossed and rubbed himself several times, and was covered in sticky sweat.

He simply sat up, rubbing his forehead while calling for someone to pour him tea.

The three of Taozi got Qingbi's order, and they all stayed in the outer room obediently. When they heard the summons, they came in and poured him a cup of warm tea.

Drinking warm water in this summer, in addition to sweating, still sweats, which neither quenches thirst nor relieves heat, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing him frowning, Tao Zi said: "At noon, the wife sent someone to bring sour plum soup, and now she's resting in the well. Is your servant serving a bowl for the uncle?"

As soon as he heard "Sour Plum Soup", Jia Jing felt his tongue swell, and said quickly: "Go quickly."

Taozi hurriedly asked the old woman to bring out the bucket hanging from the well, and poured a pot of sour plum soup into the ivory porcelain pot with the ceramic urn in her arms. Seeing that there was more than half of the urn left, she said to the old woman: "Urn What is left in the bag is rewarded by the uncle, so share it with you."

"Hey, thank you, sir, thank you, miss." The woman happily responded.

Although the summer this year is not too hot, but the mansion is in short supply of ice, and these servants like them will not be able to get enough of it.

This sour plum soup has been in the well for a long time. If you drink a bowl, it will relieve the heat, not to mention how refreshing it is.

Tao Zi carried the pot of sour plum soup and trotted back under the shade of the tree. After wiping off his sweat, she hurried into the inner room and poured a cup of sour plum soup for Jia Jing.

Jia Jing took a sip, and the coolness went straight to his heart, even the headache was relieved.

But in this life, I have paid attention to health preservation, and I just got drunk, and I didn't dare to drink it cold, so I said to Tao Zi: "I'll just have enough for this one, share the rest with you."

"Hey, thank you, sir." Taozi replied crisply.

Jia Jing said again: "Okay, you go out, I will stay alone for a while."

After Taozi went out with the porcelain pot, Jia Jing drank the sour plum soup slowly.

For some reason, his thoughts turned to the person who bumped into him in Zuiyun Tower today.

At that time, he was so drunk that he didn't pay much attention to it, but now the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person looked familiar.

But who is that?Where did he meet again?

Thinking about it hard, his head hurt again, so he let it go, thinking: Since he can't remember it, maybe it's not important, right?

Lie on the bed tossing and turning for a while, then got up and looked at the half-thawed ice basin, but remembered the lack of ice at home this year.

He thought, he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he called a few girls in and asked Taozi to go to Zhang Gui, saying that he had something to order, and asked Li Zi to massage his head for him to relax.

Zhang Gui watched Jia Jing rest, so he also went home to rest.

Zhang Gui's family left Jia Jing's place, and raised a son and a sister with Zhang Gui, and now they are all looked after by my mother.

Relying on the favor of serving the uncle, she found a job in purchasing, which was rich in oil and water, and the life of the family became more and more prosperous.

Here Zhang Gui was lying in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air, when Tao Zi ordered his servant to come.

"Brother Zhang, the uncle is looking for you!"

Zhang Gui got up and didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Let me change my clothes."

When he arrived at the house, the little girl he had bought waited on him and changed his clothes, and then hurriedly followed them away.

When I arrived at Jia Jing's place, I saw him lying on the couch, with a girl rubbing his hair on his forehead, and another girl playing a fan beside him, making him very comfortable to watch.

Zhang Gui grew up with him, and they have an unusual relationship. Dang even joked, "Why, the uncle called me over in a hurry, but he also asked me to enjoy it?"

Jia Jing smiled and said, "Isn't that so!" He said to Taozi who was sitting beside the ice basin doing embroidery work, "Didn't you hear that? Why don't you dress up, Uncle Zhang, and enjoy yourself?"

Taozi put the embroidery shed aside, got up with a smile, poured a cup of sour plum soup, and held it over: "Master Zhang, please use it."

Zhang Gui scolded with a smile: "You girl, you are so narrow-minded, you are also embarrassing me with the uncle!"

Tao Zi said: "My wife sent it at noon, and the uncle specially reserved it for Brother Zhang. It doesn't matter if Brother Zhang misunderstood me, but I won't obey if Master Zhang misunderstood me!"

"Oh, Sister Taozi, I don't dare." Zhang Gui repeatedly begged for mercy, and the group laughed for a while, before asking about the business, "Your master asked me to come, what are your orders?"

Jia Jing said: "You go to Qingxu Temple to find that Taoist priest, just like what I said, you need to find some good saltpeter."

Zhang Gui responded: "Hey, the little one knows."

Jia Jing said again: "Don't go empty-handed, ask Qingbi to give you some money later, and give him some money for sesame oil."

"Okay." Zhang Gui agreed, and then asked Taozi, "Where's Qingbi?"

Tao Zi took a look at Jia Jing, and said hesitantly, "Sister Qingbi has gone to the wife's place to get things done."

As soon as Jia Jing heard it, he understood what was going on, and said: "Then you married the silver box and weighed 50 taels for Brother Nai."

Over the past few years, through Jia Jingming's private and private rectification, the Ningguo Mansion has long since lost those extravagant trends.The maids and boys at home helped the master run errands, and they didn't dare to leave the money anymore. The family was much clearer, and there were a lot less nosy things.

Zhang Gui followed Jia Jing all the way, many things were ordered by Jia Jing, he assisted the first housekeeper and the second housekeeper to do it, and gradually understood that this is the way of passing on to the family, and he respected himself as a baby brother very much.

Therefore, when he heard that 50 taels would be given to the Taoist temple, he frowned a little: "Master, this Taoist priest spends all year round, except for reciting leisurely scriptures, and comes to our two houses to play the autumn breeze. Just two, so why use so many?"

No wonder Zhang Gui didn't want to see that Taoist priest so much, but because of that Taoist priest's snobbish eyes, he saw that the masters of the West Mansion were loose, so he flattered them a lot, but he put the serious patriarchs of the East Mansion behind him. up.

Jia Jing said with a smile: "Who is Zhang Dao? We all know in our hearts. If the rabbit is gone, how can he scatter the eagle? Besides, it's not all for him. In a few days it will be the nanny's birthday, when the time comes I'm working in the palace, not at home, you take 20 taels back and tell the whole family to cheer up the nanny."

Seeing that Zhang Gui was talking, Jia Jing hurriedly said: "When the old man is old, he likes the house full of children and grandchildren, lively and lively. Although our family is not a wealthy family, we also have some wealth. The nanny nursed me, I respect you She should too."

Now that we've talked about this, Zhang Gui won't say anything more?He happily thanked his old mother, and went to do business for Jia Jing.

Not to mention how excited the nanny Zhang Auntie was to chant Buddha after Zhang Gui went back, and how grateful she was for the little master.However, after hearing Qingbi's report, Mrs. Xu was furious, and rushed to Jia Jing's Taoran Pavilion with a few confidant daughters-in-law and mother-in-law.
