[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

On this day, Jia Yucun received the appointment letter from the official department at home, and the whole family was very happy, especially the old lady Song.

Her poor son studied poetry and books hard since he was a child, and finally obtained fame and got an official position, but he was framed by collusion.Later, relying on the support of the Rongguo Mansion, he was just about to rise to the top, but in the end...

Old Madam Song wept with joy, Fan Jiaoxing blushed with excitement, she was an official wife again!

Jia Yucun was fairly calm, after all, he had known it for a long time, and Baochai's face was also full of joy, but he was calmer than Mrs. Song and Fan Jiaoxing.

Soon, all the families who had good relations with the Jia family received the news and sent people to send congratulatory gifts one after another, among which the gifts from the Fourth Prince's Mansion were the most generous.

The fourth prince is a person who clearly rewards and punishes people who have meritorious service. Naturally, he does not hesitate to spend money on those who have made meritorious deeds. The gifts sent to the Jia family were divided into four parts. There is one.

As soon as the gift giver left, Fan Jiaoxing couldn't wait to open the box that belonged to her. Inside was a set of high-quality jewelry from the palace, the exquisiteness of which was not comparable to that of the jewelry shops outside.

"..." She took a deep breath, almost blinded by the dazzling golden light.Covering her thumping chest, when she calmed down, she stared at Baochai.

Mrs. Song was discussing with her son about the two-day banquet, Baochai listened carefully, Fan Jiaoxing was absent-minded, all her thoughts were on Baochai's box.

She wanted to go over and take a look to see if the contents in the box were exactly the same as her own, but with the old lady and the master present, she could only hold back.

The fourth prince is really generous, and this set of jewelry is very decent to wear as a guest. Fan Jiaoxing couldn't help but couldn't help but didn't even hear what the old lady was saying. After thinking about it for a while, she felt that Baochai and hers should be the same the same.

How could someone like the fourth prince do such a disrespectful thing?

After confirming the treat for the day after tomorrow, Jia Yucun went to the front yard to write invitations. Mrs. Song was a little tired and wanted to lie down on the bed for a while, so Fan Jiaoxing and Baochai took leave.

Coming out of the main room, Fan Jiaoxing held the box with her own hands, beaming with joy.

Baochai's box was held in Ying'er's hands, and when they arrived in the courtyard, Baochai blessed her: "Sister, then I'll go back to the house first."

Fan Jiaoxing's eyes rolled, the old lady and Jia Yucun were not present at this moment, she was not dead, and wanted to see what Baochai got, but before she had time to speak, Yinger had already walked back with the box in her arms. West Wing went.

Fan Jiaoxing's words were blocked in her throat, her face was a little ugly, and she said after a while: "My sister's girl is really unruly, the master hasn't moved yet, she left first."

Baochai turned her head and took a look, just in time to see Yinger's back as she stepped into the threshold. She smiled at Fan Jiaoxing and said softly, "I'll talk about her later."

"It's time to teach you a lesson." Fan Jiaoxing frowned her very thin eyebrows, and then let go of them after a while, "Sister, go in quickly, I'm going back to the room too."

Fan Jiaoxing didn't have the time to help others reprimand the servants at this time, she was in a hurry to go back to the house and try on new jewelry in the mirror!

Baochai went back to the west chamber, and Yinger was shaking her wrist. When she saw her coming in, Yinger came over and covered her mouth and snickered: "Looking at Mrs. Fan's posture, I probably have my eyes on the girl again, so I came back first with the box in my arms. Madam Fan likes you because you are thin-skinned, luckily I run fast."

"You!" Baochai couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't teach her a lesson, "I saw you shaking your wrist as soon as I came in, what's wrong?"

"The box is so heavy, girl, come and have a look, I suspect it's full."

Yinger took Baochai to the dressing table as if offering a treasure, and opened the lid of the box. Sure enough, the inside was full, including gold, jade, and gems of all colors, all of which were good things made by her daughter's family.

"Oh!" Baochai exclaimed.

Judging from her experience of visiting a jewelry store last time, this box of jewelry might be more expensive than all her savings!

The fourth prince is really a good man, and Baochai respects him even more.

Baochai counted her property again, then sat down to drink tea slowly, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen the shopkeeper Qian for a long time.

Ever since she told shopkeeper Qian that she was going to rest for a few days last time, shopkeeper Qian was also very winking, and all the orders that came to her door were rejected.Fortunately, the people in Jinyu Xiuzhuang learned a few things, and the market pressure was greatly reduced. Everyone went to Jinyu Xiuzhuang to buy.

This box of jewelry can only be worn on the body, and it is impossible to take it out to cash in. Baochai thought it was time to do something, and earn some silver for pocket money.

The Chinese New Year is coming up in less than a month. It is best to wear a red string during the Chinese New Year. Red not only wards off evil spirits, but also symbolizes prosperity. It is very festive when you look at it.

Baochai thought for a while, then took out the paper and pen to write and draw. When she was busy, Jia Yucun came in from the outside, quietly walked behind her and looked up.

"What are you doing?"

He suddenly made a noise, which startled Baochai, turned around and saw him, and immediately smiled: "Master came just in time, if you don't come in, I will send a girl to invite you."

"Miss me?"

As soon as Jia Yucun entered the West Chamber, he automatically switched to the second face. Not only were his eyebrows full of color, but he also moved his hands and feet, kneading Baochai's round shoulders twice, and then slid across her naked neck, Finally, along the slender white and tender lines, it went straight to the chest.

Baochai slapped his hand away, and said solemnly: "Don't make a fuss, I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay." Jia Yucun's tone was full of regret, "What's the matter?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm going to make some bracelets. The bare ones don't look good. It's best to match them with small and delicate gold beads. They have to be hollow so that the red string can pass through the middle."

"Is this what you drew?" Jia Yucun became serious, picked up the paper on the table and looked at it, "Your daughter's house has a lot of things, but it looks pretty."

He thought for a while and suggested, "Only gold beads? From my point of view, silver beads can also be used, and jade rings can also be used."

"That's right." The more Baochai talked, the more interested she became, "I want a little of everything, and the price is divided into two categories. No matter rich or poor, you can buy a string for the New Year."

Hollow gold and silver beads need to be customized, and only Yuhuan can buy them on the spot. Jia Yucun is a man no matter how capable he is, and he has to bring Baochai to choose these in person.

"It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, and the sun is shining outside, why don't we go out now? It's better for you to choose yourself than me."

Baochai is naturally very happy to have the opportunity to go out.

The old lady Song was resting, and the two of them didn't bother, they just talked to Hong Jin who stayed behind, and then went out with Ying'er and Shuangshou.

Fan Jiaoxing put all the newly acquired jewelry on her head, and she felt much more beautiful. Because she was in a good mood, she fell asleep quickly when she lay down for a lunch break.

When she woke up, Baochai and Jia Yucun had already returned, so she didn't know that they had gone out.

This trip has yielded a lot of rewards. The gold and silver shop’s master craftsman is exquisite. He can make smooth or hollow ones. Even Baochai’s more popular golden melon seeds or other styles can also leave an extra space in the middle. hole.

It will take some time for the delivery. Baochai paid the deposit in advance, plus the money for the jade ring, which is a large sum.

He took the bank stub with him, and planned to get some bank notes, but he was stopped by Jia Yucun, he already had it in his hand, so why bother to get it again.

Therefore, Baochai was not polite to him, and first borrowed it for a while, and even if the batch of goods sold out later, she would go to withdraw her savings to pay him back.

When they got home, the old lady had already woken up. The two went to the main courtyard to pay their respects first, and then returned to the West Wing.

Although Jia Yucun received the appointment letter, he was still a few days away from taking office, and he was also a studious person. Last time Baochai helped them translate and solved a big problem, he started to study.

In the past, he also disdained to learn the language of the barbarians. Now that he thinks about it, he has so many skills that he can use them someday.

Baochai didn't laugh at him, and prepared lessons seriously, teaching him to learn the alphabet first, so Jia Yucun sat at his desk to study this whenever he was free these two days.

Ying'er came in with a tray, first put one on the desk, that was for Jia Yucun, and then put another one on the small kang table, that was for Baochai.

Baochai was sitting on the couch, holding a red silk bracelet in her hand.This is very simple, just weave the diamond knot all the way to the end. With her speed, she can weave dozens of knots in a day.

Ying'er looked at the side for a while, and asked worriedly: "Girl, this rope is easy to weave, and I'm afraid it will be made by others as soon as it is taken out."

She felt sorry for Baochai's money, and it would be a pity if it went to waste.

"Don't be afraid, I've thought about this problem a long time ago." Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not that I'm boasting, my handiwork can be regarded as having a small reputation. As long as there are goods on display, those old regular customers They will still come to join us. Besides, don’t think it’s easy, the knot here at the end cannot be imitated by others.”

This knot was unintentionally figured out by Baochai before. It is shaped like a petal. The ingenious thing is that as long as you gently pull along the thread, it will all fall apart without leaving any traces, and there is no way to imitate it.

It's like your own brand logo.

People who can afford such things are not short of money, and they are more particular about authenticity. Even if similar red strings are flying all over the sky, Baochai is confident that all his things can be sold.

"That's good." Ying'er relaxed, "Young lady is really smart and capable, I can't think of such a way."

"I only gave you two pieces of silver jewellery. When the things are ready, I will give you and Hongjin a red string with golden melon seeds. How about it?"

A few years ago when Xue’s family was well off, Ying’er also received golden melon seeds from her master during the Chinese New Year. Thinking about her girl’s purse full now, Ying’er immediately said cheerfully: “That’s really great. It's better than what the girl gave me a few years ago, thank you girl."

After finishing speaking, he saluted Baochai seriously.

Baochai was amused by her, and while picking out a safety buckle to string into the bracelet, she said, "Okay, go down and rest, you don't need to guard here."
