Red Mansions Become Baochai

Move the knife and cut.But what does it mean that a tiger can't enter.It seems that Jia Lianna's second wife, second sister You, is ill, and Qiutong, who is calculated to be a rabbit, offends her. It turns out that this kind of superstitious activity is also practiced by Xue's family.

Baochai watched her father bustle, with a smile on his face and a cheerful voice.It was the first time that Baochai saw his father so happy, and he was almost overjoyed.Thinking that my father must be looking forward to having more younger brothers, I feel a little sour in my heart, and it is more because of the joy of the new life.

She secretly believed in her heart that this child came because of her own time travel, and her butterfly finally came in handy. She tried to flap its wings for several months, and finally a little bun fell from the sky, hehe.

She prayed to heaven that this little bun was a boy, it wasn't that she was a woman and she was patriarchal, but in this world of red chambers, it was written that it was a thousand reds and one cave, and all the beauty shared the same sorrow.Even the conceited, shrewd and capable Tanchun sighed that he was not a man for a long time.Baochai even thought that if she was a man in the original book, the Xue family would have fallen to such a state.

Furthermore, Xue's family is an imperial merchant, regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, vision, courage, and interpersonal relationships are all indispensable.Although his brother Xue Pan has changed a lot, but with his mental talent, he is really not suitable for the business field of intrigue.

Xue Biao, a cousin, seems to be more than loyal and honest, but a little lacking in tact and courage. If his father and uncle can teach him carefully, it is still possible to support Xue's family business.

If there is a clever little brother who can teach him to study well from an early age, and then he will pass the examination and be promoted to official career in the future, the good life of the Xue family will be in the future.

Letting go of power for Madam Xue

Let's say Mrs. Xue is pregnant, everyone in the Xue family is very happy.Master Xue listened to the old doctor's advice, put down his business, and personally chose two daughters-in-law who are good at giving birth and who know how to take care of pregnant women, and personally serve Mrs. Xue's pregnancy. .

The old doctor repeatedly told Mrs. Xue not to work hard during pregnancy, and Mrs. Xue herself knew which was more important.When she was pregnant with Baochai, she was busy taking care of her seriously ill mother-in-law while worrying about her natal elder brother, so she couldn't take care of her well, which made Baochai the root cause of her illness in the womb.Last year, my precious daughter suddenly suffered from an unknown and strange disease. If it wasn't for a bald monk who came to rescue her due to her good fortune, she would have almost died.What's more, it has been seven years since her last pregnancy, and she is also in her thirties, so she needs to be more careful.

Mrs. Xue didn't like her husband's argument, so she offered to entrust Aunt He to take care of all trivial matters in the family for the time being.Aunt He couldn't help but want to say goodbye, Madam Xue said earnestly: "My good sister, you are the most appropriate person. When the old lady was there, I personally taught you to be a housekeeper. Now that I am too heavy to manage, I can only ask you You have worked hard for me for a year. Anyone who has something you think of and wants to deal with, you just let go of it. If there is a servant who is not good, you just tell your brother. Don’t be afraid to take my face into account. , I'm at ease."

Since Mrs. Xue came to invite her so sincerely, Aunt He couldn't shirk and had to agree.Baochai listened to it and pulled her father's sleeve, coquettishly saying that he wanted his father to allow her to learn housekeeping from her aunt.

Although Xue Ke felt that it was too early for Baochai to learn to be a housekeeper at such a young age, seeing her daughter looking up at him with big eyes full of hope, how could she say "no" to her daughter, and hugged Baochai with a smile? Chai said: "Then you have to listen to your aunt's teachings and don't mess with your aunt." Seeing that Baochai nodded obediently, she scratched her daughter's nose again and said, "Let you live the addiction of being a housekeeper once more." .”

Baochai pouted and said, "The housekeeper is the housekeeper. Daddy added the word 'small', but there is no momentum at all." She said to her aunt with a smile: "Auntie will be the first housekeeper, and I will be the second housekeeper."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.Xue Ke was in a very good mood today, and continued to tease his daughter: "Okay, okay, I will let you be the butler of the 'Little Two'. The new official has three fires, what new measures can our 'Little Two' butlers have?"

Xue Ke thought he could turn his daughter down by questioning, but Baochai smiled and said, "I would have wanted to talk about it long ago if Daddy didn't ask. I have already thought about my first fire."

Everyone in the room was very curious.Xue Ke also raised his eyebrows and asked, "Chai'er thinks of something to pay attention to, tell Dad to hear it."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Baochai cleared her throat and said, "The first thing I want to do is to invite a good doctor to give our family a physical examination."

In ancient times, people always tabooed about diseases and avoided doctors. They rarely invited a doctor to their home unless they were seriously ill. They thought it was unlucky to see a doctor for nothing.After hearing what his daughter said, Xue Ke also felt that Baochai was a child who didn't know the world. He frowned and stopped Baochai's words, and asked, "Why do you invite a doctor if you have nothing to do?"

Baochai hurriedly explained to his father: "Chai'er is because I heard from my aunt the day before yesterday. Fortunately, I found out that my mother had a baby that day. It would be a big deal if I accidentally ate something that shouldn't be eaten. I was thinking about this passage. Daddy has worked very hard these days, and he also said that he has some headaches..." He pointed to Xue Pan who was hiding in a corner of the kang eating fruit, and continued: "My brother eats too much, and he is too lazy to move. I've gained a lot of weight in just a year, so I must have some indigestion. Even Chai'er doesn't have the strength to get up in the morning, and she always wants to sleep late."

After thinking about it, everyone felt that Baochai's words were reasonable.Mrs. Xue heard that her daughter was not feeling well, so she hurriedly pulled Baochai over to ask carefully if she was okay, so she was relieved.

Baochai left his mother again, and moved to his father's side, clasping his hands on his father's neck and acting like a spoiled child.Xue Ke bowed his head and pondered for a while, then Fang said: "It's rare that Chai'er has a heart, so let's just follow her. In two days, Dr. Ye from our herbal medicine shop will be invited to come, and everyone will check it carefully. Dr. Ye often says , If you get sick, treat it early, prevent it if you don’t have a disease, it’s not a big mistake to think about it, it’s not a big mistake to be prepared.”

On Baochai's first day in office, Mrs. Xue and Master Xue came over in person and announced to the servants of Xue's family that Aunt and her would be housekeepers from today onwards.Master Xue told all the servants to settle down in their positions and perform their duties, not to be lazy, play tricks and cause trouble.

Mrs. Xue also called the important deacons and wives to come forward, and asked Aunt He and Baochai to recognize them first, and repeated the usual rules in a rambling manner, and she was satisfied with what she said, and then she went back to the back room.

When the servants of the Xue family heard that Aunt He was taking care of the housework temporarily, a few immature people secretly had other thoughts.Thinking about it, Aunt He is just a cousin, a relative living here temporarily, but because Mrs. Xue is pregnant, she is temporarily taking care of her, and she usually acts like a kind-hearted, generous and kind person, so she will definitely not embarrass them.

Now there is a young lady added, although she is smart, but even if a six-year-old child is as smart as heaven, it is impossible to see the twists and turns in the inner house affairs, so naturally it is easier to prevaricate.

Among the servants of the Xue family, Xue Quanzhong and his wife, as well as the group of old deacons chosen by Master Xue, are very loyal to the Xue family, no matter who is in charge of the family, they are equally diligent and diligent.Some of the remaining people are scheming and know how to look at the wind before acting.Those who usually do not urge or do things gradually become lazy, and those who do not have supervision gradually become slack in doing things. All these things need not be repeated.

With his father's permission, Baochai immediately became full of energy.In the morning, I got up by myself without being urged repeatedly by Madam Cao, washed and dressed up quickly, and arrived at the Xiaohua Hall of Mingyu Hall to discuss matters with my aunt at just the right time.

As soon as Baochai and his aunt settled down in the hall, Liandong called for breakfast to be served. The daughters-in-law introduced by Mrs. Xue yesterday had already come in and stood there, waiting for the two of them to speak.

In the corridor outside the hall, there is still a long line of more than [-] servants and maids waiting, all of whom have not seen yesterday, and rushed to report today, waiting to be summoned by roll call.

His aunt and nephew finished their meal and waited for the maid to bring fragrant tea.Baochai knew in her heart that she was too young, and no one would take her words seriously, so she just waited to see how her aunt would behave, and regarded it as an internship.

Baochai raised her eyes and saw that the waiting chief deacons and wives were silent and nodded secretly, at least they didn't show any disrespect on their faces.

Aunt He nodded to everyone with a smile, and said politely: "You guys have been waiting for a long time."

Those daughters-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Don't dare."

Aunt He smiled again and said: "My cousin and sister-in-law have already explained what should be said yesterday, so I won't repeat myself. I thought I was young, inexperienced, and incompetent, so I didn't dare to take on such a big job. Yes. In order for my cousin to take good care of the baby, I have no choice but to resign myself to it. They are all old-fashioned, so I need to mention something. Everyone is still Xiaogui and Cao Sui. In the past, my cousin took care of what to do, but now Just how to do it. Please work harder, we will be safe and sound together, and wait for my cousin to take over. Just please don't make jokes and troubles, even if you care about me."

After this soft talk, the daughters-in-law were all happy, and hurriedly replied: "We are just doing some errands, and my cousin and grandma are the directors of the house, and they work hard. It is hard work to take care of everything when you get up early every day. .”

Apparently, this cousin is also rushing to the shelves, and she has no intention of making changes and changing new regulations.One or two even thought that after a year or so, they could relax and relax.

Baochai was disappointed not to hear her aunt's inauguration speech, and was so bored that she almost fell asleep again.Think of the famous joke in later generations: Hello, comrades!Hello sir!Comrades have worked hard!Leaders work hard!Isn't it the same?

Just when he felt bored, he saw Zhang Shou's family coming forward with a smile, saying that according to the rules of the mansion, he was here to lead all the servants in the mansion to make money for summer clothes.
