[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Fan Jiaoxing found her natal family, and from the moment she recognized this younger brother, she felt that she was no worse than Baochai.

Besides, her younger brother respected her elder sister so much and was very obedient, which made her even more happy. She glanced at Baochai triumphantly, and said meaningfully: "Sister, you don't know how polite your mother is, you just gave my brother a big favor." It’s a package, it’s filled with money and things, I’m even embarrassed.”

Baochai was stunned.

She came in as a flat wife, and Fan Jiaoxing was called a sister, and her relationship was more similar to that of a sister-in-law.It was the first time for Fan Jiaoxing's younger brother to visit her, and Baochai could barely be regarded as an elder, so he should give him a greeting.

Not to mention that Fan Jiaoxing's hint was so obvious, Baochai congratulated with a soft smile: "Congratulations to my sister for finding her family, I still have two new horses in the house, a little gift, please don't dislike Young Master Fan."

As soon as the words fell, Hongjin was blessed and went back to the west chamber to find materials.

Fan Dingzhu still didn't look up, his face was dark and red, and he said politely: "I can't do it, I can't do it."

"Hey, take what my sister gives you." Fan Jiaoxing said, "You take what your mother gives you, but you don't want my sister's. People who don't know will just think you look down on others."

Fan Dingzhu seemed even more embarrassed, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Mrs. Song immediately smiled and kept Fan Dingzhu for dinner, but Fan Dingzhu refused: "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. I'd better go home first, because my family will be anxious to wait. Besides... my brother-in-law is not at home, so I'll come back another day. "

The old lady nodded and asked Fan Jiaoxing to send the person out properly.

After leaving the main courtyard and returning to the East Chamber, Fan Jiaoxing complained to her younger brother: "The old lady sincerely wants to keep you, why do you have to leave?"

The younger brother stayed to eat, and she felt that she had more face.

"Brother-in-law is not here, I can't stay in the inner courtyard for too long."

That's true, Fan Jiaoxing stopped talking, should the housekeeper accompany her?That's too cheap.Why did the prisoner Xue Pan eat with the master himself when he came here, and her younger brother became the housekeeper when it was his turn?

"Okay, you go back first, and I will discuss it with the master when he comes back." Fan Jiaoxing stood up, "Sit for a while, I will come out soon."

Fan Jiaoxing went inside and opened the box, looking at the two boxes full of fabrics, hesitated.

Baochai must have sent two bolts of silk and satin, so she could save some. Anyway, if there were too many, my younger brother would not be able to wear them all at once, so she reached out and took only one bolt of silk and satin, and another bolt of fine cotton, and asked Qiuyue to hold it. just walked out.

Just when Hongjin came to deliver something, Fan Jiaoxing accepted it with a smile, and asked Hongjin to go back and thank Baochai for her kindness.

After Hongjin left, Fan Jiaoxing pointed to the four bolts of material and said to Fan Dingzhu, "Two bolts of silk and satin are given to you in the west chamber, and I'll add another one for you, and the other one is made of fine cotton, and you can make homely clothes." The old lady I’ve given you money, but I won’t give it here, you’re still young, I’m afraid you won’t be able to control yourself with too much money in your hands, wouldn’t it be a pity to spend it recklessly?”

Fan Dingzhu didn't dare to have the slightest objection, and nodded repeatedly: "It's going to cost the eldest sister, and I will listen to the eldest sister."

"Yeah." Fan Jiaoxing was very satisfied. After thinking for a while, she pulled out a round-headed golden hairpin from her head and said reluctantly, "I haven't met my siblings yet. I should have met someone before giving a gift. I Guess she probably doesn't have any good things on her body, so you take this hairpin back home, and let her wear it on her head next time your younger brother and sister come to the house. You are decent, and my face looks better."

Fan Dingzhu stared closely at the golden hairpin in her hand, and waved his hands again and again: "This is too precious, elder sister, please take it back quickly, or you can change it to a silver one."

Originally, Fan Jiaoxing was still a little bit reluctant, but when she heard what her younger brother said, she immediately became firmer, she forced the hairpin into his hand, and said with her mouth curled up, "You saw it too, all the big girls with dignity wear silver hairpins. After all, she is my younger brother and sister, why can't she be inferior to a girl?"

Fan Dingzhu moved his mouth, and finally thanked him gratefully.

Fan Jiaoxing said again: "When you go back, don't do the job at the dock, take a good rest, and look good. The most important thing is to ask your siblings to make some new clothes for you to go out. If you dress too shabby, you will be laughed at by others. .”

"Yes, what Elder Sister said is right." Fan Dingzhu smiled, and his words were very flattering, "It doesn't matter what I wear, but I must never let Elder Sister lose face. I will definitely keep it in my heart and never discredit Elder Sister."

"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't keep you longer. Don't run around after you go back. I'll tell the master about you when he comes back. The master will definitely go to see you. You just wait obediently."

Fan Jiaoxing gave a lot of instructions and personally sent her brother to the gate before turning back.

Although she lost a gold hairpin and two bolts of cloth, Fan Jiaoxing felt sweet in her heart. She went back to the house, held hot tea and said to Qiuyue, "No wonder she likes to go back to her natal family. It's just that she has her natal family." It's different. Me, if I can find this younger brother, I will be content in this life."

Fan Jiaoxing also knew in her heart that it would be very difficult for her to conceive again, not to mention that she was getting older and taking so many medicines had no effect, just because the master never slept with her now, she knew that she would never sleep with her in this life. Probably no children.

But it doesn't matter, she has a younger brother, who will take care of her in the future.

Qiuyue smiled and said: "Congratulations, madam. The young master has been looking for you for so many years, and he is honest and obedient to his wife. In the future, madam will be blessed."

"Honestly, he has never seen the world. He has lived in the country since he was born, and no one taught him. Look how nervous he is when he comes in." Fan Jiaoxing smiled and couldn't help it. Thinking about it, "I am reluctant to let him go back to the countryside. When the master buys him a shop and slowly learns to do business, he will not be afraid of seeing people in the future."

The Xue family opened a shop, and the master was busy, and he didn't know how much money he subsidized in private.When he came to her place, the master should have a bowl of water.

The day Xue Pan first came to Jia's house, Fan Jiaoxing hated him as a prisoner, and she didn't even want to say hello.Unexpectedly, after grooming and cleaning, Xue Pan looked like a human being, and wearing good clothes, he looked like the rich and noble man in the past.

Originally, she hadn't been touched, but after seeing her younger brother today, she realized that the two were too far apart.

Xue Pan was taught how to deal with people since he was a child, and he has a measure of how to advance and retreat, even if he is stupid, he is very generous, unlike her younger brother, who is timid and full of pettiness, which makes people angry when they see it.

No, I have to ask the master to buy a yard first to settle down my younger brother, and then add a few servants to follow him in and out, so that he looks dignified.

When my younger brother's shop opens up, and relying on the master's help, he can make a lot of money every day. At that time, my younger brother will definitely do better than Xue Pan, buying gold and silver for himself every now and then.

Thinking about it this way, the things that were sent out were not worth mentioning. The more Fan Jiaoxing thought about it, the more enthusiastic she became, she kept urging Qiuyue to go out and guard, and if the master came back, please come quickly.

……

Jia Yucun left on errands on time, and as soon as he left the palace gate, he saw the senior executive waiting outside with a sedan chair.

"Master." Seeing him coming out, the senior executives rushed to meet him.

"Why are you here?" Jia Yucun was a little surprised. Usually, Shuangshou was waiting for him outside, and senior executives usually stayed to watch the house. He would not come unless there was something to do.

"It's cold outside, the master enters the sedan chair, and wait for the villain to talk slowly." The senior executive waited on Jia Yucun to get on the sedan chair, let the bearer walk slowly, and himself told the story of Fan Dingzhu in detail.

There was hot tea and a brazier in the sedan chair. Jia Yucun drank tea while listening, and was not in a hurry to express his opinion after listening. He asked him first: "How is home?"

The senior manager is a smart person, and immediately replied with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with the old lady, and the west wing is also fine."

Jia Yucun exhaled softly. He was worried about Baochai at home when he was outside all day. When he heard that everything was fine, he couldn't help but relax and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Where does the young master of the Fan family live?"

The senior executives knew about it, and immediately reported a place name. Jia Yucun thought about it, and ordered: "Don't rush home, go and meet someone."

The bearer turned around and walked for more than half an hour, stopping at the entrance of an alley where fish and dragons mixed together in the outer city.

The small inn where Fan Dingzhu rested was in the alley. The environment was dirty and messy, but the price was cheap.The executive and the shopkeeper inquired about the room number, and the group went up to the second floor.

Fan Dingzhu in the room heard the knock on the door and hurried over to open the door.

Jia Yucun looked up and saw that the room was small, the furniture was worn out, and one of the only two stools had a crooked leg, and the store owner didn't know how to find someone to fix it.

There was a brazier burning in the house, and the charcoal was the cheapest kind, and the smoke from it was both smoky and pungent.

Jia Yucun was still wearing an official robe, and his aura was not angry but powerful, which was out of tune with the environment here. Fan Dingzhu and his daughter-in-law just glanced at him, and then their knees became weak and they wanted to kneel down for him.

The senior executive stepped forward quickly and lifted Fan Dingzhu up. Fan Dingzhu came back to his senses at this moment, his face was flushed, and he said tremblingly, "Sit down." He wiped the stool again and again with his sleeve.

Jia Yucun didn't dislike the dilapidated stool, so he sat down and said, "You sit too."

Fan Dingzhu's daughter-in-law kept her head down, and she hid aside when she was blessed, and shrank herself into the corner of the wall, almost merging with the wall.

Fan Dingzhu didn't dare to sit down, but the other party spoke, and he didn't dare not sit down, so he carefully sat down on the remaining stool. Because the legs of the stool were crooked, his sitting posture was very awkward.

Shuangshou couldn't see it, so he went out to find the shopkeeper and brought in a new good stool, which was replaced by Fan Dingzhu. Fan Dingzhu was full of panic and thanked him endlessly.

"I heard from someone that you came to the door today. What's the situation at the other end of the house?" Even though the senior management had reported it in detail, Jia Yucun still wanted to hear Fan Dingzhu's story again.

Jia Yucun had a smile on his face. He thought his tone was gentle enough, but he didn't want to be like an interrogator in Fan Dingzhu's eyes.

Fan Dingzhu's palms were sweating, his legs were shaking with fright, he swallowed, and stammered again, which was no different from what he said in front of Fan Jiaoxing.

Jia Yucun listened quietly, and found that this man seemed to be honest, but his small eyes occasionally revealed a bit of shrewdness.

He didn't dare to look at Jia Yucun, because he was forced by the gaze, his eyes would roll twice quickly, and then he would turn his head as he spoke.

This evasive expression made Jia Yucun suspicious.

After finally finishing speaking, Jia Yucun didn't say a word, Fan Dingzhu felt anxious, waited, and then summoned up his courage and said, "I'll go out and ask the shopkeeper for a good pot of tea."

Jia Yucun stopped him and got up to leave, but he was not allowed to give it away. Before leaving, he thought about it and left five taels of silver on the table.

Fan Dingzhu didn't dare to disobey, he gave Jia Yucun a big gift, and after seeing him leave the house, he reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
