The daily life of Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Besides, after hearing what Jiang Yan said that day, the Elder Master really took it into his heart.

Thinking of Xing Shuang being able to become like Jiang Yan said, treating him tenderly, the elder felt that he was full of strength, and happy and beautiful days were beckoning to him.

When the elder wanted to act according to Jiang Yan's suggestion, a problem arose.

If he wants to buy jewelry frequently, he doesn't have that much money!Now the monthly report issued by the public is only enough to buy some food and drink for myself.However, if you want to buy jewelry frequently, it must not be enough. Is all the money given to Xing Shuang?After all, better jewelry is not cheap, and if you have cheap jewelry, you don't like it, and it would be too shameful to give it away.

Thinking of how foolishly he handed over his private house back then, the Elder Master regretted it a lot.

Thinking of Jiang Yan saying that he would design jewelry for Xing Xue himself, the old man was so resentful to death.

why?Because the old man can't draw either!

The old man had the illusion that his and Jiang Yan's lives were upside down. A scholar, wouldn't it be good to study hard? How could he play tricks better than a dude like him!

The old man is worried, and the subordinates should show their skills.

Then, Fu Guier gave the old man an idea, saying that he used to carve hairpins for his sister, and my sister liked it very much, so he suggested that the old man try to do the same.

Of course, that’s what people said, “I used to make it for my sister because my family was poor and I saw my sister envious of other people’s headgear, but I didn’t have money to buy it.” Then he said sincerely, “My little one I know, the master is definitely not short of this kind of money, but it is just for the meaning of this hands-on work, to make the wife happy." The old man has set up the airs and found the reason for him, so the old man is naturally very face-saving I took the suggestion seriously and really went to carve it myself.

When he really did it himself, the elder realized that it was not an easy task.Materials, styles, designs and colors are all thought about and prepared.

The old man had a high vision, and he didn't like ordinary materials, so he directly dismantled a rosewood ornament in the small study, euphemistically saying, "If you want to do it, you must do it the best. How can ordinary materials be worthy of the name?" Do it yourself?"

As for the style, I chose it directly from a bunch of patterns, which is a hollow golden phoenix hairpin.This is because the old man thought about it when he was just learning, and made a simple one first, so he gave up the more beautiful and more complicated style, and chose this one.

Fugui next to him saw it, and he was really anxious. He wanted to say something, but stopped again.Just keep quiet and ask the old man to try it, if you don't try it, you won't give up.

The Elder Master really put his heart into it, he did everything by himself, without asking others to help, he really planned to make a whole gift by himself, and asked Xing Shuang to take a good look at it.

However, no matter how hard you work, the old man is still a novice and has never been in this industry. Just the first step of "cutting materials" is a headache for the old man.It’s really not that difficult, but for someone like the old man who has never done carpentry work, even if he draws a place for him and asks him to cut it according to the line, his hands will shake or slippery and he will always make mistakes. .Needless to say, the lower part has to be carved according to the decoration, and then polished.

After using it for four or five days, the wood was all scrapped by the old master, and the hollow golden phoenix hairpin was nowhere to be seen.On the contrary, there is only a small piece of thin wood that is as thick as a finger.The old man's face darkened.

Fugui carefully looked at the face of the elder, as if he was rejoicing, and said, "It's still enough to make one, but don't carve any more patterns this time? Otherwise, I'm afraid—"

What are you afraid of?I'm afraid I can't do one of them!After finishing speaking, Fugui quickly took a step back, fearing that the old man's violent temper would kick him again.

The old man ignored him at all, and weighed the last piece of wood in his hand, and this time he finally didn't dare to cut at will.Carefully observe every joint of the wood, spot the spot and grind it bit by bit with a carving knife, and finally a hairpin is made.In the end, only this finished product was carved successfully.

Even if it was extremely monotonous, it was the first time the Grand Master succeeded, especially after so many failures, it was even more precious.The old man was so happy, the sense of accomplishment in his heart could not be described in words.

As soon as it was finished, he casually found a wooden box to store it, and the Elder Excitedly took it to Xing Shuang to offer Yingqin.Fugui, who was behind him, looked at the pile of red sandalwood wasted by the old man and twitched in distress.I thought to myself that this wealthy family can do it, and I don’t know if one day in the future, if the family business fails, and thinking about it now, will I want to scratch my ears.How did Fugui know at this time that his slander turned out to be a prophecy.And not to mention later.

It's just that Xing Shuang is reading a book seriously, with one book in his hand and a pile of books on the table.But recently Daiyu's health has improved, and she regained her vitality, and began to pester Xing Shuang to ask this and that.Ask the source of everything you say, Xing Shuang is about to ask this little girl to strip her naked, and Xiuyan is the one who relieved herself several times.Therefore, Xing Shuang has been trying to catch up on some common-sense literature knowledge these two days.

Just as he was feeling dizzy, the old man came over, looking very happy, holding a simple box in his hand.

Seeing that the old man opened the box very excitedly, took out the hairpin from it, handed it to Xing Shuang, and stared at Xing Shuang with bright eyes.

Xing Shuang looked at a simple hairpin held in the elder's hand. It had no special style or pattern, and the color was the original color of the wood.She wanted to say a few words, but seeing the several cuts in the elder's hand, Xing Shuang silently swallowed the words she wanted to say.

I took the hairpin from the old man and stroked it twice with my hand, it was still a little rough and scratchy.I'm afraid it was taken over as soon as it was finished, and I didn't polish it again.Xing Shuang knew it was done by the Elder himself, after all, Fugui had personally arranged for the Elder to serve him.Even if he didn't count on him to inform him, but he always disclosed the news to his sister Jixiang, and Jixiang would naturally turn around and tell him.Xing Shuang naturally knew about the fact that the Elder Master carved hairpins for himself.

But, sometimes, knowing and seeing are two different things.

At that time, when I heard what Ji Xiang said, I just took it as a joke.Feeling that the old man is uncertain, why did he come up on a whim, maybe he gave up within two days, it was really done, but it was just a hairpin, so I wouldn't worry about it!

The vows made at that time are all jokes now, and Xing Shuang does not deny that she is not as calm and calm as she imagined.Especially seeing the old man staring at her with shining eyes, and with several old and new wounds on his hands, he couldn't say what he wanted to say before.After thinking for a long time, he said "very good".

Knowing that the old man is being so courteous to him now because he wants to reconcile the old relationship with him, not just a couple in name, Xing Shuang doesn't want to accept it, and doesn't want to break the current comfortable state.If the Elder Master is against her and acts violently, Xing Shuang can be more aggressive than him.However, the Elder Master softened so much, it could almost be regarded as a humble flattery, and Xing Shuang didn't know what to do.

I can only praise "very good", the hairpin is very good, and the rest is gone.

"Good"?Well, that's pretty good, and then what?The old man waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Xing Shuang's next words, the light in his eyes dimmed all of a sudden.It was as if the shining stars in the night sky were suddenly covered by dark clouds from nowhere, and the sky suddenly became dark.

To be honest, the Grand Master is really depressed now.This is the first time that the Eldest Master has done something so seriously in such an old age. He has worked hard for a long time and is about to succeed, but he is suddenly woken up. It turns out that he is dreaming.This is different from what the old man imagined. Obviously, I have worked so hard to get back with Xing Shuang, so why can't I do it?

If that doesn't work, what else?The old man really had the urge to be the old man of the Rongguo Mansion who only wanted to have fun, and didn't care about anything else.

The old man is really sad, it seems that the energy of the whole person has been taken away, and he is very mournful.Xu didn't want Xing Shuang to see his gaffe again, so the elder turned around and left quickly.Didn't say hello.

Xing Shuang didn't feel very comfortable watching the Elder Master go away like that.I can't describe the feeling, in short, it's a bit boring.I was very helpless, why can't I stop these days?Can't you live a simple life?Why does it have to be so complicated?

Xing Shuang was upset, Ruyi called her several times but didn't hear her.Ruyi had a delicate mind and felt that something was wrong with Xing Shuang's mood, so she went out with a tea tray, leaving Xing Shuang alone in the room quietly.

After the old man went back, he was negative for a few days and then he got better again.The Elder Master refused to admit defeat in the end, and felt that Xing Shuang had to be subdued no matter what. The Elder Master succeeded in arousing Xing Shuang's temper.

If this method doesn’t work, then ask others about other methods.At night, I often pester Xing Shuang to talk and chat, and I don't mind if I don't talk to him when the bed collapses.Xing Shuang didn't say anything, he just said it himself, Balabala kept talking.

Xing Shuang has gotten used to making him fuss now, even if the old man keeps talking, it's time to rest, and it won't hinder his sleep.

During the day, the old man didn't have time to talk to his beloved pets. It is estimated that the few birds he raised probably forgot what his master looked like, so they came to look for Xing Shuang if they had nothing to do.People are not empty-handed, whether it is seasonal fruits, or new cakes from outside shops, they always bring something to see the world.

As a result, the maidservants around Xing Shuang are all biased towards the Elder Master, and they often make things convenient for the Elder Master.Even Xing Shuang's attitude towards the Grand Master has softened a bit.Seeing the signs, the Elder Master naturally wrapped him up tighter and came more frequently.

This afternoon, the elder came to look for Xing Shuang again.He was also holding a serving of fried chestnuts, which he had heard from Fugui, saying that Xingshuang liked to eat them.The old man picked them out one by one with his own hands, and they were all full and undamaged.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Xing Shuang losing his temper with Wang Shanbao's family in the room.How stubborn Xing Shuang's temper is, the Elder Master has a deep understanding.Therefore, the elder's footsteps stopped.

Thinking of waiting for Xing Shuang's evil fire to pass, how could he just stay for a while, and then heard Xing Shuang's angry reprimand at Wang Shanbao's family, and the whole thing fell into the heart of the old man, and his heart was so cold. cold.

The chestnuts were scattered all over the ground, but the elder didn't care, instead he felt that his behavior these days was a joke, so he walked away dejectedly.Wang Shanbao's family in the house heard the sound of something falling outside, and when they came out to have a look, their hearts suddenly "thumped", maybe something really happened this time?
