Evening Shaohua in the Red House

After talking about Qi Kuo, Mrs. Wang led Aunt Xue's mother and daughter to visit Jia's mother again, and offered all kinds of human favors, land and objects.

On the other side, Xue Pan also met with Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia She, Jia Zhen and others.

Mrs. Wang was talking to Aunt Xue here. Jia Zheng and Jia Mu successively sent people to pass on the message, asking everyone in Xue's family to stay in Lixiangyuan, and everyone was intimate.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I also have the same intention. I didn't expect the old lady and the master to think about it first. In that case, the younger sister will stay. Now that my brother has been promoted to another province, I was saying that there is no relationship between my natal relatives." Lonely, my sister lives here, one of us sisters can talk, and the other Baochai also has their sisters as companions, so we can study and do needlework together, wouldn't it be convenient?"

Aunt Xue originally had this intention, and Xue Pan's life lawsuit was settled. If she lived outside, she might go out to mess around again and indulge in trouble. Their Xue family is one of the four major families in Jinling, but it is nothing in the capital. Now, my elder brother, Wang Ziteng, is not in Beijing. He lives in Jia's mansion, and there is more or less a caretaker, and with the supervision of his uncle Jia Zheng, he can tighten up his sons, so he hurriedly agreed, and explained to Mrs. Wang privately: "One day's fee will be paid. The supply is all exempted, that’s the way of life.”

Mrs. Wang knew that it was not difficult for his family, so she followed her own way.

From then on, Xue's mother and daughter lived in Lixiangyuan.

Baochai, besides making morning and evening appointments for Mrs. Jia Muwang, waits with Daiyu Yingchun's younger sister, reads books and plays chess, or does needlework with Li Wan.

After getting along for a period of time, Li Wan gradually became familiar with Baochai. Not only was he good-natured and beautiful, but he was also talented and knowledgeable. His character and talent were comparable only to that of Daiyu.

Baoyu had always liked beautiful girls, and seeing Baochai's plump appearance, he couldn't help but get close to her, but it was just a natural idiot, and there was no other intention.

Afterwards, Mother Jia took Xiangyun to stay for a few days. Xiangyun has always been upright, a naughty and troublesome person. Baochai is gentle and elegant, generous and decent in handling things, and considerate. In two days, one mouthful and one sister Bao, very close.

Daiyu was not very happy, because since Baochai came, the maids and women in the mansion began to gossip, saying that Miss Lin is mean and petite, her eyes are clean, she is more dignified and generous than Miss Bao, and so on.

Since Daiyu came to Jia's mansion, she has been loved and loved by Jia's mother, and she has a good relationship with Baoyu's brothers and sisters.

Compared with Baochai, not only the little girls like to be stubborn with Baochai, but even the elder sister-in-law who has always been close to her is full of praise for Baochai. Then there is some resentment.

At first Li Wan was puzzled to see Daiyu's moodiness, but later he realized the reason, and couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded. After all, she was still a little girl at heart, and knowing Daiyu's delicate thoughts, she hurriedly explained it with her heart, and then she turned around.

Li Wan knew very well that although Daiyu loves to be petty, she only does this to those who are close to her, and she comes and goes quickly, and it will pass in a short time. , such sister Lin also looks more real and lovely.

On this day, Daiyu, Baochai and Sanchun sisters were all gossiping in Li Wan's room, when they suddenly saw Amber passing a message, and said with a smile, "The girls told me to find it, so I'm here."

Everyone laughed, and Tanchun laughed and said, "What do you want us to do? But what orders does the old lady have?"

Amber said: "The old lady has something to tell the grandma and the girls, and asked me to pass the message."

Although everyone was a little puzzled when they heard the words, they had no choice but to put on the stove, put on their cloaks and went to Jia Mu's room together.

In the upper room, the little girl raised the scarlet felt curtain, and a warm fragrance rushed to her face. Li Wan looked up and saw Jiamu leaning on the backrest pillow with big red embroidered clouds and dragons holding her birthday, with a big white fox fur mattress under her body. Wearing a burden of black fox fur, he was chatting with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.

Baoyu was leaning in front of Jiamu and listening to the people.

Li Wan took his sisters to invite Ann, and went to serve Jia Mu, while Baochai Daiyu and others sat down on the chairs, and the little girls brought a small copper foot stove, and put them under the feet of their sisters. .

Jia Mufang said to Mrs. Wang: "I called you here today for no other reason. I am getting old now, and there are too many people in this courtyard, which makes me have a headache. Thinking about the three sisters who are growing up now, they are crowded together. It's inconvenient, why don't you move to live in the three-room building behind your room, ask Zhu's daughter-in-law to accompany and take care of it, and leave Yu'er and Baoyu here to relieve boredom." After thinking about it, he said: " When the sisters moved out, they also moved Baoyu out of the side room, so the three rooms in the west wing were opened up for Baoyu to live in, which was cheaper."

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, but Baoyu was very happy when he learned that he could live next to Daiyu. He couldn't help looking at Daiyu, but seeing that she was just in a daze, and there was no joy on her face, she couldn't help feeling a little frustrated .

Mrs. Wang glanced at Daiyu and Baoyu, her eyes flashed, and she said, "Old man

Whatever my wife says, I will send someone to tidy up the house tomorrow. "

Li Wan had no choice but to agree, and sighed secretly in his heart. I have to say that Jia's mother was a bit biased. The Baoxia hall was just three small rooms separated by an inverted room. It's small, it's not very comfortable to live in.

I also thought that if Baoyu moved to the west wing, it would be too close to Daiyu only by a wall. Didn't Jia Mu give up on matching the two jades for marriage?

Thinking of this, Li Wan couldn't help but want to sigh. He didn't know if it was a predestined fate, but Baoyu and Daiyu's relationship was getting better and better even though they had tried their best to keep them separated. Although they are young now and there is no relationship between men and women, the relationship between brother and sister is still closer than others.

Yingchun and the others felt a little bit bitter, the Baoxia Hall was small, how could it compare to the spacious and bright West Wing where they live now, but Jia Mu had already spoken, and the three of them dared not say anything.

The next day, the Sanchun sisters moved to Baoxia. A few days later, the three west wing rooms were cleaned up, and Baoyu moved in happily.

Li Wan observed carefully for a few days, and was relieved to see that Daiyu was still the same as before. Although she had speculated with Baoyu, she had always been cautious and never allowed Baoyu to enter her bedroom at will.

One day, when Daiyu came to talk to Li Wan, Danju and Xiazhu Zijuan were sitting in the Nuan Pavilion, doing needlework by the window, when suddenly Suyun brought in the narcissus wintersweet with her mother-in-law, holding a He couldn't help wondering: "Where did this come from?"

Suyun laughed and said: "This is a few pots of fresh flowers sent by Manager Zhao. In this box are the silver coins from the first two crops of vegetables on the Zhuangzi. It is said that according to grandma's order, most of them have been exchanged into gold. The accounts are all in there, sister, please check them out."

Upon hearing this, Dan Ju put down her needle and thread, took the box, and went to the side to check.

Li Wan was sitting with Daiyu on the fumigation cage and gossiping about family affairs, when they heard the movement, they asked, "What's the matter?"

Suyun hurriedly stepped forward to explain the reason, and said: "Guan Zhao has one more thing to ask grandma to explain. He said that the market for fresh vegetables is good at this time of year. He invited two old farmers to come and want to open another one in the village. Come out of the vegetable field, and take advantage of the first two months to harvest a few more crops."

Li Wan nodded and said: "Go and tell him, let him handle these farmland matters on his own, don't ask me."

Zhao Guanshi is also an old man brought by Li Wan from her natal family. In the past few years, she has been in charge of two small villages in the outskirts of the capital.

Let him take care of the hot spring Zhuangzi you just got.

Hearing this, Suyun agreed and went out to spread the word.

Daiyu was very puzzled after hearing this for a long time, and wondered: "Where do you get fresh vegetables in this winter?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "Didn't the princess reward a hot spring village last time? There were a lot of melons and vegetables planted on that village. At that time, the princess said that she would give it to me. I asked them to send some to the mansion a while ago, and the rest will be sent to the mansion." They're all sold."

Daiyu suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing: "This person is too good at thinking, how much are those melons and vegetables worth? Is it worth all this trouble?"

Li Wan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Don't underestimate these melons and vegetables, they are rare in this cold winter and twelfth lunar month, and the price of a catty of melons and vegetables is enough to buy a banquet."

During the conversation, Dan Ju had roughly checked the accounts, and seeing that there were no mistakes or omissions, she came back and said: "The accounts are correct, excluding all expenses, the total is 540 taels of silver, and it was converted into gold according to grandma's wishes, and it's all here .”

After finishing speaking, he opened the box for Li Wan to have a look at, and saw five golden gold ingots and four silver ingots in the box, each of which was twelve taels, and the quality was excellent.

Li Wan glanced briefly, nodded, and ordered Danju to put it away.

Daiyu was very surprised. Although she didn't care about money, she was familiar with Jia Min when she was at home, and she was quite proficient in managing accounts. Some vegetables can be sold for so much money? Then why don’t ordinary people grow some vegetables to sell in winter? At least they can support their families, and they won’t go hungry or cold.”

She has been remembering this since Li Wan told her about the sufferings of the people last time.

Danju and the others immediately laughed when they heard the words, Xia Zhu and Biyue were doing needlework in the Nuan Pavilion, but at this moment she couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Girl grows up in the boudoir, how do you know the market outside, this melon and vegetable can be sold!" It’s not so easy to grow, otherwise it wouldn’t be so expensive.”

Daiyu knew that she had made a joke when she heard the words, and she blushed immediately.

Li Wan held back a laugh, and explained to her roughly, "It's cold in winter, and fruits and vegetables can't survive. It's because of the hot springs in my village that those vegetables can grow. It can't be done in other places."

This era is no different from later generations. Fresh vegetables in mid-winter are extremely rare, and melons and vegetables that can be bought for a few pennies in the past now cost several taels of silver.

Only then did Daiyu understand, she nodded and sighed.

Dao: "As the saying goes, 'Things are rare and precious', so it is so."

At this time, the maids had already moved all the flowers and bonsai to the corridor. Li Wan took a look and saw that there were four pots of wintersweet, four pots of narcissus, and four pots of camellia. A pot of narcissus and a pot of camellia were asked to choose by Daiyu, so Daiyu chose a pot of wintersweet and a pot of narcissus.

Li Wan called Biyue over again, and ordered: "Leave a pot of wintersweet and a pot of camellia, and send the others to Miss Bao and Miss San and the others."

Bi Yue agreed and went to cook by herself.

Daiyu glanced at the camellia and wintersweet on the ground, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, did you leave this for Sister Feng?"

Sister Feng likes to be gorgeous, and even flowers and bonsai like these brightly colored ones.

Li Wan smiled and said: "That's right, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I'm too bored to stay in the house all the time. Will my sister go to see her without me?"

Daiyu agreed a little, and the two immediately wrapped their cloaks, asked the mother-in-law to move the bonsai, and went to Sister Feng's courtyard together.

Not long after arriving at Sister Feng's courtyard, Ping'er rushed out to greet her after hearing the girl's announcement, and said with a smile, "Why are grandma and girl here in such a cold weather? Please come in quickly."

Li Wan pointed to the two pots of flowers in the woman's hand and said with a smile: "I got two pots of flowers today, I thought I haven't seen your grandma for a long time, so I came to talk to Feng girl, will she be free now?"

Ping'er thanked her in a hurry, ordered the little girl to pick it up, opened the curtain herself, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, but there's a grandma Liu from my wife's side, and she's talking in the room."
