[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

In March of Yangchun, the grass grows and warblers fly, and the weather gradually gets warmer. People take off their winter thick padded jackets and put on light spring clothes.

Baochai has been pregnant for five months, and her belly looks even more magnificent after wearing thin clothes.

The old lady and a group of girls treated her like a porcelain doll, and they were careful in everything. No matter where they went, they had to follow at least two people by their side, lest if they knocked or touched her, it would be a disaster.

Just after breakfast, Baochai went for a walk in the courtyard. A batch of fresh flower pots were replaced in the courtyard. Since spring came, the varieties of flowers have increased and the prices have dropped a lot.

Although there is no garden in this house, in order to make Baochai live more comfortably, the old lady didn't feel sorry for Yinzi at all, and ordered the senior management to buy all the beautiful flowers and rare grasses, and refurbished the courtyard, trying to make people feel happy. You can have a good mood like going out without going out.

Since there were many more flowers and plants in the house, Baochai liked to walk around the yard more and more. In addition to the warm weather, it was better to take a walk and have a look than to be bored in the house.

After walking slowly for more than ten laps, and carrying a pot to water the flowers, Baochai sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, ate two pieces of snacks, and drank a cup of tea.

The early spring sun was very comfortable on the human body. Baochai squinted her eyes slightly, feeling the warmth of the sun, and said to Yinger, "Take out some strands of my silk thread, and we will work here."

Yinger hurried over and brought a sewing basket, which contained the needlework she and Hongjin were doing.

The three masters and servants sat around the stone table, doing their own things, the surroundings were quiet, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Baochai thought that even though she was pregnant, she couldn't leave this skill behind. In order to prevent her skills from becoming unfamiliar in the future, she set a small goal for herself: to make at least one piece every month.

In this way, you will not tire yourself out, and you can practice on your hands.

It's just that she just made less than half a cup of tea, and the tranquility was broken - two aunts from Jia Yu Village came.

The goal of these two people is very clear, they are here to curry favor with Baochai, trying their best to win favor.

Aunt Liu looked at Baochai's hand that had just raised her head, but couldn't tell what it was, and praised her: "Madam is really skillful..."

He made a lot of miscellaneous blows, boasting that Baochai exists in the sky but not on the earth.

Aunt Qiu didn't want to be left behind, but Aunt Liu had already finished all the compliments in her mind, and repeating other people's content would seem like a respondent.

So, she walked over, put her hand on Baochai's shoulder, and asked softly while squeezing: "Madam, is this strong enough? If it is heavy, I will lighten it. Madam, you have worked so hard, I can't see it in my eyes." It hurts..."

Every time she pressed the button, Baochai's hand trembled, and the work could no longer be done.

Baochai had no choice but to put down the things in her hands, smiled at the two of them, and said kindly: "Are you here to enjoy the flowers? You don't have to wait on me, just sit down."

There were only four stone benches around the stone table, and Baochai's master and servant occupied three of them, and there was also a sewing basket on the other one, so Hongjin hurriedly got up to give up her seat.

One seat was vacant, but there were two aunts. They were stunned for a while, and said together: "We don't sit, we have sat in the room for long enough, and we want to stand for a while when we come out."

Ying'er sat still and didn't move. She knew Baochai's temperament, and she planned to do some work in peace, but was disturbed by these two people.

What's more, just looking at their enthusiastic posture, you can know what kind of heart they have.

When Mrs. Fan was still there, my daughter had little contact with these two aunts. Now that Mrs. Fan is gone, these two immediately changed their positions and replaced them to flatter.

Who cares?Anyway, Ying'er doesn't like such a person.

Unbelievable, they thought that Baochai would use their status to deliberately make things difficult for them and treat them harshly.Isn't it good to live in peace and quiet with each other?Why do we have to get together and insist on pretending to be sisters?

Baochai glanced at Yinger, and was about to talk to her. Qiuyue was holding a tray in her hand with a small stewing pot on it. Standing on the corridor, she could see clearly. As she walked here, she made a sound. Said: "It turns out that my wife is here, and the old lady sent me to deliver food."

Ying'er immediately stood up and went to meet her. While picking up the things, she smiled and said, "Sister, just leave it to me. I don't know what to cook?"

"Stewed red dates with white fungus."

Baochai casually mentioned this thing at the dinner table that day, but the old lady remembered it in her heart, so she ordered the kitchen to make it.

Baochai thanked Qiuyue, and with Yinger's service, she picked up a small spoon and ate slowly.

Qiuyue was not in a hurry to leave, she had to wait for Baochai to finish eating, then take the tray back, and report to the old lady how much Baochai ate, whether it was delicious or not.

Seeing that Baochai started eating, the two aunts found something to do again. One babbled about the benefits of red dates, as if endorsing; Ma'am, spit out the core here later, lest Miss Ying'er clean it up again."

"..." Baochai almost couldn't eat anymore, is it really okay to be so enthusiastic?

Qiuyue stood aside and looked at it for a while, and then moved her eyes to the side. The door of the east wing was closed, and there was a lock on the door. There were two rows of flowers on the porch, colorful, beautiful and vibrant.

Baochai raised her head inadvertently, and seeing Qiuyue's actions, she also glanced at Dongxiang, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable.

Although the relationship between her and Fan Jiaoxing was not very good, they usually treated each other with respect. If a real person who had been with her for several months died suddenly, no one would feel good after seeing her.

She never thought of squeezing Fan Jiaoxing away, but she would never give up Jia Yucun either. Two maids and one husband won't work with her, this is her bottom line.

Above the bottom line, she is willing to do her best to treat others with the greatest kindness.

With all her efforts and calculations, Baochai has been in this era for less than a year, and she thinks she will not be able to learn the set of rules for survival of aboriginal women in the backyard.

If she must share her man with other women, then she would rather not have this man.

The pair of unfinished little shoes that Fan Jiaoxing secretly made were later found by Jia Yucun and handed over to Baochai.Holding Baochai in her hand, she was stunned.

She did not expect that deep in Fan Jiaoxing's heart, there was such a trace of kindness.This kind of heart is worthy of being treated well, Baochai put the little shoes into the mahogany box with great care, and then locked them properly in the cabinet.

She will keep these shoes well. This is the last gift from a woman she has called her sister for several months, and it is the only gift from her.

I hope that Fan Jiaoxing will have a good pregnancy in her next life, and it is best to go to a world where men and women are equal, happy and healthy.

Baochai put down the small spoon in her hand and completely lost her appetite. She stood up and politely said to the two aunts: "Play slowly, I'll go back to the room first."

Qiuyue looked away and saw that there was still more than half of the pot left, and was about to persuade Baochai to use more, but Baochai looked at her: "Qiuyue, come with me."

Back in the West Chamber, Baochai asked Qiuyue to sit down and talk, and asked her with a smile, "Are you used to living in the main courtyard?"

As soon as Fan Jiaoxing died, the maids in the East Chamber were dispersed. Qiuyue got her wish and entered the old lady's room to serve, Hongling went to the kitchen to help, and the two little girls followed, which made Aunt Li a lot easier .

"It's customary, the old lady is kind, and Yuhuan and Yuxi are easy to get along with." Qiuyue smiled, and then remembered the unfinished food, "Ma'am, it's still hot, do you want to eat more?"

"No more." Baochai waved his hand, "Then you go back, if you have any difficulties, just come to me."

"Thank you, madam." Qiuyue bent her knees and left with the tray.

Back in the main courtyard, Qiuyue reported to the old lady.

Mrs. Song frowned after hearing this: "Is it not to your appetite? Why can't you finish eating such a small cup?" After a pause, she said dissatisfiedly, "Those two aunts are really. Running around. Baochai has a big belly, I am really worried about them being so reckless."

Yu Huan, who was waiting on the sidelines, comforted: "It will be fine when the master comes back."

"Well, maybe I'm about to set off and go back at this time." Mentioning her son who is away from home, the old lady couldn't help worrying, "It's really impossible without a man at home. If he's not around, I don't know what to do." , I am afraid that something is wrong with Baochai. Alas!"

Fan Jiaoxing died, the body could not just be left like this, just as the river was freezing and the boat could only sail, Jia Yucun took leave of absence from the court and sent Fan Jiaoxing back to Jia's ancestral home in Huzhou, Zhejiang, where she was buried in the ancestral grave inside.

The old lady was too old to travel far, and Baochai was pregnant, so they had to stay at home.Jia Yucun was naturally worried, and entrusted the whole family to Xue Pan, asking him to come and take care of him from time to time.

Yuxi smiled and said: "The young master of the Xue family came here yesterday, if the old lady is worried, tell him to come here again tomorrow?"

"Oh, no need." Mrs. Song also laughed.It has to be said that Xue Pan often goes in and out of Jia's house these days, which brings a great sense of security to the old lady and makes up for the vacancy caused by his son's departure. It's too much trouble."

Qiuyue thought for a while, and suggested: "Why don't you invite Mrs. Xue to come and play for two days?"

"That's a good idea. You can send someone to Xue's house later to see if your wife is free." The old lady nodded, "But before that, Yuhuan, go beat those two aunts and pass on my message. Let them stay in the house honestly, don't always go to Baochai, I am terrified. Look at who doesn't know what they think? When my son comes back, I will mention this to him .”

Fan Jiaoxing's incident sounded a wake-up call to the old lady, heart disease is the most difficult to cure, if you encounter unpleasant things and you don't know how to explain yourself, sooner or later you will become depressed and become serious symptoms.

She knew Baochai's temper, even if she didn't like it in her heart, she would not embarrass others in person.The old lady was afraid that the two aunts would make Baochai feel unhappy, which in turn would affect her eldest grandson's disposition, so she could make a decision without thinking about which one was more important.

Yuhuan called Aunt Liu and Aunt Qiu together, and passed on the old lady's words. They were so frightened that they lost all care, and never dared to go to Baochai's side on purpose.
