It is said that Baochai heard that something happened at home and hurriedly dragged Xiaohong back.As soon as I entered the door, I saw two servants standing in the house with arrogant faces, Baoyu stayed at the side at a loss, Xiren Yinger stood in the same place with worried faces, and Sheyue supported Grandma Liu. Talk to the two guards.Baochai thought it was Baoyu's accident, so she hurried back.Seeing that Baoyu was fine, he was relieved.

When everyone saw Baochai coming back, they leaned towards her as if they had won the backbone.The two servants entered the door, not knowing who the owner of the house was. They first looked at Jiang Yuhan, then at Baoyu, and saw that the two men were both powdered and vermilion, although Baoyu's face was a bit more vicissitudes , but his expression is still immature, it doesn't look like he is in charge of the house.So he casually pointed to one of the two of them and told him to invite the Patriarch back.Seeing that man brought a woman back at this moment, he was even more dumbfounded and asked suspiciously: "You are the head of this family? Then you are Jia Baoyu's family?"

Baochai bowed to the two of them first, and nodded yes.Seeing her being so polite, the two yamen servants calmed down and said: "We have sealed the order of Mr. Sun of the Shuntian Mansion to send Jia's family members back to their hometown immediately. Since you are in charge here, you are urging these people in the family." Hurry up and pack up and go on the road, don't waste the time."

Baochai was puzzled when she heard this, and she didn't know what happened. She looked at Baoyu first, and Baoyu looked blank and ignorant.Seeing this, Sheyue hurriedly leaned into Baochai's ear and whispered, "I heard that Third Master Huan caused trouble outside and caused people's lives, and that's why we got hurt."

When Baochai heard this, her heart turned cold, and she knew that she had to leave now.It's just that there are still a lot of things that have not been settled. The first money to redeem Qiao's sister has not been collected yet. Could it be that Grandma Liu is really asked to sell the land for the girl of Jia's family?Furthermore, she, Ying'er and the others also took on a lot of work, some of which were not finished even though they had received the set money.Even if all these things are over, the houses will also be returned.There are so many chores that look like needles and threads. If it is really going to be settled, it will take a few days anyway.

After a little calculation in Baochai's mind, she began to think about it. She stepped forward and secretly stuffed a small ingot of silver into the officer's hand and said with a smile: "Since it is an order from the Shuntian Mansion, we should honor it. But the officer also saw it." Now, most of us here are old and weak, women and children, if we leave immediately, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience, so I ask the messenger to accommodate me." Baoyu saw Baochai's movements clearly, and he never liked Baochai's sophistication and tact. He himself is a person who has nothing to do, so if he really asked him to think of a way, he couldn't think of it.

The official didn't care what Baoyu thought, he flipped the silver in his hand, and found about five taels, but he was very satisfied. I'll give you another three days, if you still can't move out, don't blame us for doing business." After speaking, the two of them withdrew.

After Baochai sent the servants away, he told everyone how to go to Li's house, how Li Wan gave ten taels of silver, and how he returned the silver.Grandma Liu then sighed, "Second Grandma shouldn't have returned the ten taels of silver to Grandma. After all, you all came from different backgrounds, and you don't know how hard money is." It’s not a bad thing for us without the ten taels. I think the sister-in-law’s temper now takes the ten taels of silver seriously, and her orphans and widows’ lives may not be easy in the future, so why should we take money from them?”

Grandma Liu was reasonable when she heard this, so she sighed and said to herself, "It's difficult now." Baochai asked Xiaohong again, "Did you take grandma to see Ping girl? After the beginning of February Second, Second Brother Lian and the others are going north, so they should know where Qiao Er is."

Grandma Liu hurriedly said, "It's not over yet. Second Master Yun wanted to collect all the money first, and then lead me to see Miss Ping, so that she can rest assured." Baochai pondered for a moment, then said to Xiaohong. "You just take grandma to see Ping'er, so that they can rest assured. As for the silver, I still have the treasure box that Lian's second sister-in-law left for Qiao'er. I thought I would return it when Qiao'er came back." For Sister Qiao, it’s just a thought. In the current situation, we have to treat it first, save Sister Qiao and then talk about other things.” Then she asked Yinger to take out the treasure box from the cabinet and handed it to the little girl. Hong, told her: "I have seen this item before, and it can be pawned for about 400 taels of silver. People in pawn shops are used to bullying and lowering the price. If the price they give is lower, don't be afraid to just turn around and leave. Don't worry, At this price, they will rush to collect even the contract of labor, and you can also bet more based on their expressions."

Seeing that Baochai remained calm in the face of danger, Xiaohong was more and more admirable, and wanted to leave after taking her things.Seeing that Xiaohong was about to leave, Grandma Liu said, "I'll go with Second Grandma Yun to see Miss Ping, so that she can rest assured." Baochai nodded and sent them out.

Seeing that both of them had gone, she asked Musk Moon Yinger to see how much work was left unfinished, and how much money she could get back if it was finished.Musk Moon roughly calculated that if all the work in hand was finished, there would be about 20 taels of silver in the income.Baochai couldn't help sighing, if 20 taels of silver could last a year in a good year, now in this year of catastrophe, the price of grain changes almost every day.It is unknown how long the 20 taels of silver will be spent.

Seeing Baochai's sad face, Musk Moon said, "We may not be able to get back all the 20 taels of silver. Within three days, there are only three of us and six hands. It is difficult to get all these things out." , Then Xiren laughed and said: "Who said you have three people and six hands, how can you forget me now? We are four people and eight hands." Musk Moon also laughed: "I forgot You. Not only you, I also want to bring that girl Qianxue over. Even Second Grandma Yun, the six of us have twelve hands, I don’t believe we can’t finish it.”

Before she finished speaking, Yinger saw that Ying'er had taken down the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "I don't care about you, and don't hit me on the head. I just want to hit my net. The wife of the Li family in the east of the city asked for ten. Come on, I have to finish this." Musk Moon said with a smile: "Yes, yes, our girl Yinger's netting skills are already well-known in Jinghua, Miss Yinger can do the netting with peace of mind, and leave the rest to you. We are." Yinger blushed and wanted to go up and tear Sheyue's mouth, but the room was small, so she might as well overthrow Xiren.After all, how young are they? They laugh and laugh and see that they seem to have completely forgotten that they are living in a shabby room at this time, impoverished.

All the girls laughed and made noises, and even Baoyu and Baochai laughed too. They looked at each other inadvertently, but turned their faces away again.Baochai smiled at Sheyue and the others again, "Okay, let's stop here. It's important that we get down to business first."

The author has something to say:

I feel that this chapter is quite joyful. In fact, it is also a good choice to live in peace and happiness.

I feel that Baoyu is sour and redundant. Is it because my understanding of this character is not deep enough?It seems that without Sister Lin, Baoyu's existence is meaningless.Forget it, Baochai, sister Bao Dumei is also pretty good.
