Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Seeing that Jia's mother was in a good mood, Sister Feng also joked, "It's not that the old ancestors can take care of people, one by one is like water onion, which is much better than our burnt papers!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

Jia Musu liked Sister Feng, and was even more delighted when she heard the words: "You monkey, come and send me again!"

"I'm not wrong. Let's talk about it, Miss Pearl looks like this now, with such a demeanor, if she goes out and doesn't know who she is, she should be Miss Everyone."

"I'm old, and I liked to dress up when I was young, but now I don't have the heart anymore. I like to see them dress up brightly and festively. Pearl is always a good girl, but her body is too plain. Yuanyang, I remember Daban There are still a lot of satin harvested in the old year in the box, and the white ones are moldy. You can find them and get a few of them to make two vests for the maids to wear, and two brighter rulers for Pearl. Find two more pieces of jewelry and give them to her."

He also ordered someone to bring her two plates of snacks and fruits to eat.

Everyone looked at Pearl's clothes, they were almost new, they were all made of good-colored materials, and they didn't look shabby at all, and they knew that Jia's mother made a face for Pearl specially, and they had different expressions for a while.

Yuanyang pursed her lips and smiled, agreeing.

The maids in the house were very envious when they heard this, everyone in the whole family didn't know that Baoyu was the old lady's sweetheart, and now that the pearl passed by, it represented Jia Mu, and Jia Mu valued her so much, no one could surpass her in the future, It can be said to be a step up to the sky.

Pearl remained calm as before, kowtowed respectfully to Mother Jia, took some snacks and left.

After leaving the upper room, all the maids and women in Jiamu's Court rushed to flatter her, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Miss Pearl, this is really a great deed."

Pearl has always been kind to people, she is not such a frivolous person, and she is generous in her actions. All the maids and women in the courtyard are very friendly with her. Looking at the current momentum, Jiamu is determined to promote Pearl, and there may be great fortune in the future. Well, even though it was unavoidable to be a little jealous, they didn't dare to neglect her.

But Zhenzhu didn't dare to be complacent, she hurriedly laughed and said: "Thanks to my mother and sisters who take care of me every day, I will give you three hundred yuan to buy wine for everyone."

The crowd became more and more joyful, and they praised her for her generosity, and there were endless flattering words in their ears.

Pearl was smiling all over her face, and braced herself to deal with it. Finally, the socializing was over, and Yuanyang brought two rulers, one was made of silver-red and gold-woven satin

One is light green soft silk, both of which are good materials for official use.

He took out two more purses, handed them to Pearl, and whispered: "These are things for the old lady down here. The old lady doesn't look down on these things, and they are reserved for rewards. I picked two out on purpose, so you can get them." Go ahead."

Pearl understood, put the purse into her sleeve, and carried the satin down.

Back to the residence, fastened the door, opened the purse and saw that it was a red gold hibiscus bracelet inlaid with rubies, and two rings with double dragons playing with pearls.

Mandarin ducks and pearls have always been very close, and they usually choose exquisite and precious things. This bracelet weighs about two taels, but is only one finger wide. Very delicate.

The weight of this bracelet plus the workmanship is worth 50 taels of silver at least.

Although the two rings of Double Dragon Playing Beads are light in weight, they are extremely finely crafted. They are made of extremely fine gold wire to form two coiled dragons. The heads of the dragons are held together. It will move when you shake it, very delicate.

Such a "two dragons playing with pearls" ring weighs less than a penny in terms of gold, and the beads are no more than the size of a grain of rice. The value of the material is limited, and the real value lies in the craftsmanship. Sell ​​it for a tael of gold.

Pearl was delighted, she had been in Jia's mansion for less than four years, and her monthly salary was only five hundred yuan, until she was promoted to be the first-class servant girl next to Jia's mother. As far as the big maids are concerned, this tael of silver is not taken seriously. They serve the master by their side, and their main income is rewards rather than this monthly fee.

It has been less than a year since she came to Jia Mu's side, but the rewards she received are more than the monthly allowances accumulated over the years. Only the few rewards Jia Mu rewarded today are worth her monthly money for several years.

After admiring the pearl carefully for a while, he carefully wrapped the bracelet and ring with a handkerchief to avoid bumping them, and then put them into the jewelry box.

She originally sold herself as a slave because her family was poor, but she never thought that she would be lucky enough to enter Jia's mansion. The master's family is generous, and the rewards are also generous. According to the current situation, it will be better if she goes to Baoyu's side, as long as she lives better In a few years, she can accumulate a lot of body, and the family can recover some vitality.

The next day, Pearl packed up the bedding, dowry and other things, and moved to Baoyu's room. She represented Jia's mother, and even though Baoyu's big girl was unwilling, she had to retreat.

Knowing that his real surname was Hua, Baoyu once saw the line "flowers attack people" in an old poem, so he went back to Jiamu of Ming Dynasty and changed the name of Pearl.

Assault.

After that, Xiren became Baoyu's deacon and big girl, in charge of everything in the house.

The story is divided into two parts, and it is said that Sister Feng flattered Jia Mu, went back to the room, changed her clothes, sat in front of the dressing table and took off her makeup. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she said to Ping'er, "You said today, the old lady." What do you mean? Why did you give the pearl to Baoyu? She is only two years older than Baoyu, what can she do?"

Ping'er helped her remove the hairpin rings, put them one by one into the dowry, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, the old lady loves her grandson, and it's okay to help someone more. If you want me to say that the girls around Baoyu are really troublesome, All day long, the family plays around with Baoyu, eats rouge today, and makes incense powder tomorrow, and the charmers can't hold them back.

Although Pearl is not very old, she acts prudently and properly. She is the most diligent and careful, and she is also an old lady. If Baoyu is persuaded by her, she may still listen to her. "

Ping'er has been in Jia's mansion for a year, and has a very good relationship with Yuanyang and Zhuzhu, and Su likes Zhuzhu as a person.

Sister Feng shook her head, frowned and said: "I don't think things are so simple." She took the comb and combed her hair, thinking of Mrs. Wang's eyes at that time, her heart suddenly moved, she stopped what she was doing, and said hesitantly: " Do you think there is something wrong with Madam Cai’s expression just now, could it be that the old madam is thinking of giving the pearl to Baoyu as a housekeeper in the future? That’s why Madam is annoyed?”

Ping'er was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed, "I didn't notice, grandma is probably thinking too much, how old is Baoyu? It's too early to say that."

After hearing this, Sister Feng lowered her head and thought about it, then sighed after a while and said, "Forget it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, whether it's true or not, let's not get involved."

After finishing speaking, he rubbed his waist and abdomen, sighed and said, "I just stood in the old lady's room for half a day, and now my waist is getting more and more sore."

Ping'er said: "Today is grandma's little day. She was supposed to have a good rest, but she was tired for half a day. Now go to bed and lie down. I'll ask An'er to make a bowl of jujube soup." On the one hand, she combed Sister Feng's hair and put it in a homely bun.

Sister Feng nodded, "Forget it, I'll take a break, and call me after dinner." Ping'er agreed, and helped her to bed and rest.

Not long after, Jia Lian came back from the outside. Seeing that Sister Feng had rested, she went to the outside room.

Just as An'er came in with a tea tray, she might as well bump into Jia Lian, and the jujube soup in the bowl almost spilled out.

Fortunately, Jia Lian saw the opportunity quickly, grabbed her hand in time, caught the tea tray again, and smiled at An'er: "

why so flustered

Yes, but has it ever burned? "

Jia Liansheng was handsome, but now he spoke with a smile, and his eyebrows became more and more romantic. An'er blushed immediately, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Second Master, for not being burned."

At a glance, Jia Lian saw a section of snow-white neck, as delicate as fat, and couldn't help being distracted. He looked at An'er carefully, and saw that she was wearing a silver-red flowered jacket, a white silk skirt with thin pleats, and black hair all over her head. Hanging servant girl, with a few golden hairpins and jade bracelets on her hairpin, her eyebrows are like spring mountains, her eyes are like autumn waters, and she also has a plump body, white skin and red lips, which is different from Fengjie's bright and beautiful.

An'er felt something in her heart, she couldn't help blushing, she raised her head timidly and took a peek at Jia Lian, when the two of them met, they immediately lowered their heads, their cheeks were flushed.

Jia Lian saw that the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of coquettishness, and she became more and more indescribably touching, and her heart itched unbearably, and she immediately reached out and grabbed An'er's hand.
