Red Mansions Become Baochai

Various patterns of dragon and phoenix, tortoise and snake, double fish, fighting swords and stars are also cast on the back.This is the authentic lucky money.

Baochai weighed it with his hand, the gold was much heavier than the silver, it seemed that tonight had a good harvest.

Only Xue Ke prepared gold and jade ornaments for the children alone.It was he who went to Jubao Building in Jinling City early in the morning, asked the head master to discuss the design, and then sent it to Qiyun Temple to ask eminent monks to consecrate it.

The two girls of Baoqin and Baochai each have a gold branch and jade leaf pendant. They are made of pure gold into thin wires, made into the shape of branches and leaves, and are inlaid with various gemstones. The craftsmanship is very exquisite.I just don't know what to say about this thing.

Xue Pan and Xue Scorpion are the golden lion rolling hydrangea pendant. Baochai is very familiar with this implication. The lion rolls the hydrangea, rich and noble. This ornament is only as big as a child's fist, but the golden lion is flexible and light, natural and vivid.The image is very realistic, the mane is still flying upwards like a flame, and a small multicolored hydrangea is playing under the lion's feet, which is covered with jewels and jade.

The only one given to Gu Yunzhen was a golden Pixiu, with red gold dots and emerald greens, a horse-like body, unicorn-like feet, staring and baring teeth, and a perverted shape, the most unique.Aunt He knew at a glance that this one was the most precious, she hurriedly declined and said, "Cousin should keep such a good thing, and give it to Zhen'er, who can afford it."

Xue Ke said with a smile: "I decided on these things early in the morning. I didn't give them to Zhen'er because he saved Baochai today. Everything has a good meaning. This golden Pixiu will definitely protect my nephew. Kangtai." Aunt He just accepted it and asked her son to take it with him.

It was half past midnight, and all the adults had to watch the year. Mrs. Xue was frightened by Baochai, and Baoqin and Xue Biao were too young to stay up late, so they were allowed to go back to have a rest.

Mrs. Xue was afraid that Baochai would scare her, and the child would be insane, so she would feel at ease only after seeing her fall asleep.I personally took Baochai to bed, removed her clothes, shoes and socks, and put on a new red satin jacket.And put the New Year's purse she got today under the pillow.Put those strings of money at the foot of the four beds.

Yin picked up the golden branch and jade leaf pendant, looked at the candle carefully, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen such an exquisite pattern, it's hard for your father to come up with it, people say that the emperor's daughter is the golden branch and jade leaf. From this alone, you know how much your father treasures your daughter."

Baochai was moved inexplicably.There is a saying in later generations that every girl is a princess in her father's heart.Father's love is like a mountain, and father is the backbone supporting the whole family.She will spend her whole life looking up and admiring.

Xue Ke, a father who is knowledgeable and has a good eye for business, might be able to create a business empire in future generations.No worse than Li Chaoren and Wang Yongqing.Even if his father is not an official, he does not have the title of duke or marquis.But his love for his daughter is not lost to anyone, Baochai vowed that he would never underestimate himself just because of his status as the daughter of an imperial merchant.

The author has something to say: This is the golden branch and jade leaf. I have saved a clearer picture before, but unfortunately I can't find it.When I was packing yesterday, I caught my finger in a drawer. I typed this chapter with one hand. I read everyone’s replies, but please forgive me for not replying in time. I’m such a madman.

Today's Father's Day, I wish all the fathers in the world a happy holiday, good health and a long life.

Happy New Year Baochai busy New Year greetings

The first New Year after Baochai crossed over, came with the sound of firecrackers in Jinling City.

After a good night's sleep, Baochai woke up and just moved her body, trying to stretch, when she was held down by Madam Cao.Seeing the anticipation in her eyes, Baochai suddenly felt blessed and said with a smile, "Congratulations, auspicious new year."

After hearing this, Grandma Cao was really happy, she narrowed her eyes with a smile, and said happily, "Congratulations, Miss, all the best in all seasons."

Ruixiang took all the maidservants in the west wing to pay New Year's greetings to Baochai.Grandma Cao listened with a smile, seeing that it was getting late, she said: "Miss, hurry up and wash up, change into new clothes, go and greet the master and wife."

Baochai changed into a scarlet jacket, and Madam Cao put on a pair of soft satin shoes for her to wear indoors. The other maidservants had already brought silver-bodied enamel basins, rinsing bowls, towels, embroidered handkerchiefs, and soap, and stood aside to serve her.

According to the rules of this era, maidservants should kneel when they wash and groom young ladies and wives.Only Baochai hides a modern soul inside, seeing the flower-like girls kneeling humblely in front of her own child, she can't feel at ease and accept everything.In the morning, I asked them to stand.

Madam Cao and Mrs. Xue felt that Baochai was just childish, with eccentric ideas, and they both persuaded her that this was against the rules.A maid is a maid, and a young lady is a young lady.Even though Baochai is young, he is also the master, so he should pay attention to the formation and pomp that he should have.After hearing this, Xue Ke felt that her daughter would be kind and benevolent, and that the villain's family was too noble and might ruin her luck, so she asked everyone to do as her daughter said.

Ruixiang came forward to roll up Baochai's sleeves, took another towel, and tied it on Baochai's chest.Mammy Cao made rose-flavored soap herself, and gently wiped Baochai's face.

After washing his face, he took a toothbrush and green salt, wiped Baochai's teeth, and rinsed his mouth.Then he applied moisturizing balm to Baochai's face, and then he went out without mentioning it.

Aunt He saw Baochai come in, with two maidservants, Yuanyuan, on her head, a red gold seven-treasure collar on her chest, a bright red and multicolored lotus-wrapped branch trimmed with a lynx horse-style fur jacket, and a lotus-colored floral skirt.The skin is fair and white, the pink cheeks are slightly red, and the pear dimples are looming at the corners of the mouth.That Yichen Yixi's small appearance is really cute, she stood up and pulled her on the kang and said: "Look at the outfit of Chai'er, and holding a big red carp in her hand, isn't it just like the doll in the New Year pictures? "

Everyone in the room laughed at Baochai.Gu Yunzhen glanced at the big fat baby in the New Year's picture, turned around and saw Baochai's puffy face, and hurriedly asked Baochai what was wrong.Baochai pouted and whispered, "I'm not as fat as the dolls in the New Year pictures."

Mrs. Xue didn't listen to the truth, so she laughed and asked Baochai what she said, Gu Yunzhen had to tell the truth, and everyone burst into laughter.Xue Ke also hugged Baochai with a smile and said: "My daughter is getting fat. She has been ill this year, and she has lost a lot of weight. I haven't gained a few catties in the past few months, and I still need to make up for it."

Baochai stretched out her hand and pinched her own cheek. It is true that there is not much flesh. Children of this age need to be fatter to be round and cute.She didn't eat less herself. Could it be because her child's body is an adult's heart, she has something on her mind, and she can't get fat even if she wants to?

Everyone talked and laughed and started to eat breakfast.As a rule, porridge is not allowed on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone first has a small cup of Huanxituan tea for good luck.Then I ate a bowl of candied lotus seed soup, and the nurse next to me said that good days are sweet all year round.

There are also many fried rice cakes, all dyed yellow and white, and made into gold bricks and silver bricks. If you eat one piece, you will say that you will get rich in the new year.Fried Yuanxiao is not called Yuanxiao today. It can only be called dumplings and dumplings, which take the kindness of family reunion.Even dumplings filled with meat, meat and meat are made in the style of ingots.

According to the custom of Jinling, the main house does not open the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and does not visit relatives and friends, in order to fear that evil spirits and evil spirits will take the opportunity to break in.In Jinling City, which is so big, Xue's family is also a big family in the city, with many relatives and friends, and every family visits, it is really hard to come here.

For those relatives who don't have much contact with each other, officials who are generally friendly, and business partners who socialize on the scene, the Xue family, like other big families, only sent servants with name stickers to pay New Year's greetings on behalf of the master.

This famous post is also called flying post, which is similar to the New Year's card of later generations.Generally, people use big red plum blossom paper to cut two-inch wide and three-inch long cards, on which are written the name, address and auspicious words of congratulations for the new year.

The Xue family's famous posts are even more exquisite and gorgeous.If the family sending the stickers is an official, they will use the whole brocade to make the stickers, with auspicious words such as congratulations on the new year woven in advance.If you want to give it to the people, use big red silk as a sticker, and sprinkle red gold on it as words.The name cards are all red sandalwood worship boxes inlaid with glass and covered with gold at the four corners.

The Xue family also posted a big red paper bag on the vermilion lacquer gate of their house, with the words "Jie Fu" written on it, so that other families can post New Year greetings and hope for auspiciousness.

At noon, the whole family came to worship.Baochai originally thought that in addition to the three salary at the end of the year, Xue's servants would get two sets of winter clothes and two bolts of cloth.Each family has a pig, a sheep, two chickens and ducks, ten catties of fish, a bag of rice, and a bag of noodles.

Unexpectedly, today is the day for meritorious deeds and rewards. At the commendation meeting, brothers Xue Ke first gave a speech, thanking everyone for their hard work for a year, and wishing everyone to work harder in the new year, and the Xue family will prosper.

Xue Quan'an and his wife, the first-class heroes, are in charge of the big and small affairs of the Xue family, and they are very hardworking.Xue Ke rewarded him with 300 taels of silver, and Mrs. Xue rewarded her daughter-in-law with a set of golden hair noodles and four bolts of fine silk.The two children in his family have a pair of pure gold bracelets and two sets of clothes.

The rest of the dignified internal and external managers all received 100 taels of silver and many gifts.

Baochai's nanny Cao Mama got 50 taels of silver, a set of silver and gilt hair, and she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

Even the rough envoy's little maids and mother-in-law each have a reward of ten taels of silver and a few pieces of silver jewelry.Everyone is beaming, even walking with the wind.

Baochai watched from the side, and there were several old people among the servants, who also came in with the help of their sons and grandsons to pay New Year's greetings to the master's family.Regardless of Xue Ke's brother's obstruction, he knelt tremblingly to kowtow to the master's family to pay New Year's greetings, and his gratitude to the Xue family was beyond words.They are all family-born servants who retired early in the morning and were raised at home.

The Xue family has been like this since Xue Gong was alive. When the old servant reaches sixty or is not in good health, he can apply to the master's family for retirement.According to age and meritorious deeds, the Xue family will set the rules and distribute money and rice for support.

From this point of view, the Jia family seems to have no
