The soy sauce life of the second daughter of the Xue family in the Red Chamber

Seven days later Liu Xianglian returned to the camp, Xiao Jingze originally wanted to return to the camp, but because an ancestor was here, he had no choice but to stay.Mr. Yu doesn't do business on weekdays, but when he has some free time, he needs to come to talk with Baozan, so he stops by to look at Yuhe, but Yuhe just ignores him, and loves to fight with Jixue every time he comes and goes.Jixue is two years older than him, has been with Baozan for these years, and has been educated and can read. Those who have nothing to do every day or two will be guilty of cheapness, and those who have nothing to do have to have a few words from Jixue at Baozan before the day is over.Baozan himself is a daring lord who even dares to order the princess around. Although he knew that Mr. Yu must be a prince, but seeing Jixue often had something to say to him, it was not out of order, and Mr. Yu was happy. Among them, it is not very persuasive.

This day, because of Mr. Yang's instructions, he didn't dare to move too much, and it was too hot outside to go out to bask in the sun, so you just set up an ice basin in the hall of your house, and invited Yingchun, Xiao Jingze, and Young Master Yu to play cards together.The four of them fought for an hour, Baozan called to count the money because he was a little tired, after a calculation, only Baozan won 23 taels of silver, Baozan held it in his hand and weighed it, and he called himself Ji Xue took the scorpions and scattered silver taels and weighed 27 taels, and put it together with the 23 taels she won, which happened to be 50 taels of silver.Baozan found a silk bag from the drawer, put 50 taels of silver in it, weighed it in his hand, then handed it to Yu He and said: "Give it to your mother, the old rules." Yu He responded Next, take the silver and go to cook.

Mr. Yu and Jixue are very close friends. When he saw Baozan, he asked Jixue: "What is your wife doing? Give Miss Xia's mother's monthly money?" Jixue said: "Your family is rich and powerful. Yes, a cook can have this monthly money." One sentence made Mr. Yu panic, blushing and said: "I don't know how much my cook's monthly salary is." Then he asked the boy next to him: "How many monthly cases do you have in a month?" The kid next to him listened, and said in a sharp voice: "The slave has been at the master's house for five years, and I get five taels of silver every month." Ji Xue heard the movement of collecting cards in her hand After a pause, Baozan also sighed in his heart that this is the royal family after all, a eunuch needs five taels of silver, which is more than a girl from a wealthy family.

He also said that Mr. Yu did the math again after hearing this, and said, "50 taels is really not a monthly payment. What is it for?" Take the silver and come out to give out porridge." After hearing this, Mr. Yu wanted to ask again, but Xiao Jingze said: "What is 50 taels of silver enough for? Since Madam Xue has money, why don't you open a porridge shop with me? Wouldn't it be great for us to spend a few hundred taels each, and let the people here have more meals?" Yingchun nodded in agreement, and said, "I have some silver, and I can do some good deeds." Mr. Yu listened Said: "I think so too. It would be better to add some money to build some houses for people to live in."

Baozan shook his hand and said to them, "not only can't build a house, but you can't even add more money to give away porridge." Everyone wondered: "this is strange. It's a good thing to give porridge and medicine, how can there be more money?" But it’s not easy to get up?" Baozan said: "You don't understand, but my natal family is in business, so I can count better than you. As for money, I have enough, that is, rice from the city. It's nothing to buy all the grain. It's just that although I have a rice store and grain store in Beijing, I can't send it because of the long distance, so I have to buy it here. Due to the war, rice is more expensive than other places. , if we have more money to buy grain, the price of grain is bound to rise again. In the past, it is easy to increase the price and difficult to fall in price. We can control the people for ten days and eight days, but can we manage them for a year or two? When the time comes Although we can afford it, we have done bad things with good intentions, making the people who can't afford it even more unaffordable."

Mr. Yu said: "If the price is increased, it will be a disaster for the country. Where is this?" Baozan said: "Where is it not? People make money, birds die for food, people kill and set fire for money. Yes, what's the point of raising the price? And what I just said is only half of it. Just now, Erye Xiao said about opening a porridge market, didn't he?" Xiao Jingze said: "Exactly." Baozan said: "The porridge market is naturally It’s a good thing, Erye Xiao is indeed a great benevolent person. It’s just that we once or twice, it’s not difficult to take out a few hundred taels of silver, but it’s not long-term. And people say that Sheng Mien, Dou Miqiu, if one day the porridge market I can't afford it, I'm afraid it will attract people's resentment, but it's not good. Mr. Yu is kind enough to want to build a house, but if you have money, why don't you repair those ruined temples and the like, so that people can have a better life? It is enough to shelter from the wind and rain. If you build those houses, how many can you build? At that time, one house will have it, and the other house will not. At that time, they will be you talking to each other first, that's all right, and then you will punch me and kick me, it's not good for you to do bad things with good intentions." After hearing this, everyone was deeply convinced.

Baozan laughed again and said: "In the end it was because of my selfishness. People say that wealth is not revealed, and they would pay five or sixty taels of silver from time to time. I don't think anyone would think anything of it. If you pay a few hundred taels at a time, it is inevitable that someone will give it to you." Thinking about it, if someone has evil intentions and kills me, what should I do? After all, my own life is the most important thing, and other people have a way to survive if they are hungry or not, so I don’t need to worry too much about it.” Everyone said I thought deeply again, and wanted to laugh again.Yingchun smiled and said, "I've known you for so many years, I know you have a powerful mouth, but I don't know that you don't count on burying others, but you also like to bury yourself." Baozan laughed and said, "Now that you know..." His expression changed as he spoke. , anxiously said: "Men all go out! Where is Mr. Yang?"

Mr. Yu didn't understand what was going on, so he was dragged out by Xiao Jingze, Yingchun asked his girl to go to the side room to find Mrs. Wen, who had been invited early, and Jixue helped Baozan into the room and walked back and forth. He muttered again: "Yuhe is not here, Yuhe is not here, what should I do." Hearing this, Baozan became more and more afraid, and his pace became faster and faster, and he said: "Calm down, calm down. God, don't you I'm bored, Yuhe can't help me to have a baby." Even though I said so, I was still very scared, wandering around with Jixue, I didn't know what to do, when I saw Mr. Yang entered the room, I immediately burst into tears, crying : "Sir, save me."

Mr. Yang practiced medicine with his master when he was ten years old. For decades, he felt that he was well-informed, but he had never seen Baozan like this.When other women were about to give birth, they could only look at it with joy. Although they were also afraid, they were so frightened that they cried. Therefore, they were also taken aback when they saw Baozan like this.Fortunately, Mr. Yang is no better than others. 18 years ago, he was able to quietly help sister Xia to keep Yuhe. 18 years later, when he heard that his son was going to marry this princess who had been left behind by the people, he just scared himself for two days. I also figured it out and accepted it, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.So even though Baozan frightened her for a while, she quickly calmed down and said, "Mrs. Xue, sit down first and ask the old man to check his pulse."

Baozan and Jixue were at a loss what to do at this time, they listened to the doctor for everything, not to mention taking the pulse, even if they asked Baozan to do somersaults in the courtyard now, they would still do it right.At this time, after hearing Mr. Yang's words, it seemed that he had seen a life-saving straw, so he hurriedly stopped and asked him to feel his pulse.After a while, Zi Baozan saw that he still didn't speak, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Sir, is there any trouble?" The pain lasted for five or six hours, and the old man was thinking of something that has no soup and can invigorate Qi, and asked my wife to eat it." Baozhan nodded and said: "All the power is in the hands of the husband. If you want anything, you can just write a list and ask someone to do it immediately. That's right." Mr. Yang nodded in response, but went away without mentioning it.At one time, another lady Wen came and told Baozan to lie down, and told Baozan to get up and move around after lying down for a while, which was very lively.

At this time, there was a commotion, and a letter came from someone outside, saying that the old lady and old man of the in-laws had come.Baozan was stunned for a moment, then happy again, and then worried again, pulled Yingchun and said, "Sister, please help me find out if they are my parents or not." Yingchun said, "Go first, I'll go out and have a look." If so, I will bring it in." Baozan nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank my sister."

He also said that Yingchun went out to have a look. It turned out that it was Master Xue and Aunt Xue. What?" When the two elders heard this, their steps were twice as fast as before. Master Xue is not allowed to enter the delivery room as a man, so he had to wait outside with Xiao Jingze and Mr. Yu, and asked, "Where is my son-in-law?" Xiao Jingze said: " I had something to do a few days ago, and I went back to the camp, and I will be back in three days, and now I have sent someone to send him a message." Master Xue nodded and said: "The father will be here at the third time."

Besides, Aunt Xue entered the delivery room in three steps and two steps. Seeing Baozan walking back and forth, she called out, "My son!" Baozan heard this, turned around and saw Aunt Xue, and hurriedly said, "It's really mother! Mom and Dad!" Why are you here?" Because Baozan had already walked a few steps, Aunt Xue supported her and lay down on the bed herself, and then replied: "I heard that you are pregnant, so count your due date. I found a doctor and brought them here. Later, your father was really worried, the doctor had only been away for half a month, and your father couldn't stand it anymore, and handed over all the business in the family to your brother, and gave you the qualification of the imperial merchant. Brother, when you become an old man, you don't care about anything, you just need to come here to see his second daughter."

Baoti knew that Xue Pan was now an official, so sooner or later the qualifications of the imperial merchants would be given to Xue Mo, but he did not expect that because of his own stomach, Master Xue would ignore those things so soon. handed over.Today's Xue family is more than three points stronger than before. Every year, there is always an income of 1 to 7 taels from the royal family. Looking at Yingchun who is also in the house, she was originally going to be sold to her grandson by her father for five thousand taels of silver. He is at home, but his father can give up these incomes for himself, and he is deeply moved.When I was about to say something, I suddenly felt a pain, several times more severe than the previous labor pain, I hurriedly grabbed Aunt Xue's hand and cried out for pain, another woman cried out to lie down, and someone else's face was already prepared The scissors, hot water and other things are brought, so there is no need to mention it.
