[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Xue Baochai was full of reluctance, so Xue had no choice but to persuade her earnestly.

"Daughter, you have also seen that Mr. Jia is not in a good condition now. He can buy you with 200 taels so that you will not suffer at the hands of others. It is already very rare for him. It is hard to repay a great favor. Song The old lady is old, you should kowtow to her, lest others laugh at us for being impolite."

"..." Xue Baochai took a deep breath, she almost forgot that she was a servant now, and suddenly felt like crying.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Xue felt even more uncomfortable, as if being pricked by a needle, she hurriedly coaxed: "This is only temporary. When we have money, we will immediately redeem your contract of sale. Mr. Jia is benevolent, and he must I won't treat you as an ordinary girl. Don't cry, you will get better."

Silver, silver again.

Sure enough, it is difficult to move an inch without money. This saying does not distinguish between ancient and modern.

"Mother, do we have any silver now?" Xue Baochai's beautiful eyes were dizzy with mist, and they were about to fall.

Xue's heart was twisted into a ball, so she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she had to lie to her: "Mother has it on her body, look, these kinds of jewelry on my mother's head can be sold at a good price, but it's inconvenient to go out now. It’s just not working together for a while.”

When Xue Pan's accident happened, Mrs. Xue had no connections, so she had to beg her sister Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang agreed, and after receiving the first batch of money from Mrs. Xue, she took advantage of the situation and asked Baochai to marry Baoyu quietly first.

In Xue's opinion, this marriage is very good.It is a high marriage for a daughter to marry in the past, and Baoyu has a good life, gentle and considerate, how could she not be happy?

After Baochai got married, Xue Pan's case was full of twists and turns. Mrs. Wang came to ask for money again, saying that the people above had a great appetite, and they had already used up all the money they had given before, but they still couldn't get through the door.

Mrs. Xue had no choice but to sell all her family property, even the jewelry, which was exchanged for silver and handed over to Mrs. Wang for management.

She didn't dare to complain to her daughter, for fear of making Baochai worry, all this was done behind Baochai's back, and the two gold-clad silver jewelry on her head could not be seen unless she weighed them in her hands.

Xue Baochai looked at the two shiny golden hairpins on Xue's head, and felt happy.

How shiny, how thick, two lumps of gold so big must be very valuable, right?

She didn't have any doubts, and only when her contract of selling herself was at her fingertips, she gradually showed a smile.

Seeing her daughter smiling, Mrs. Xue took the opportunity to ask her to kowtow to Mrs. Song.

Baochai looked at Xue's eagerly looking eyes, then at the hairpin on the other's head, thought for a while, and gritted her teeth, agreed: "Okay, I will kowtow to her tonight."

Take it as a thank you to her son for his help. After all, respecting the elderly is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation!

……

Jia Yucun went out today at the invitation of Chen Youming.

He has no errands, he is purely an idler, and before returning to his hometown, he has no other entertainment except reading books at home.After staying in Chen's residence for a long time, he said goodbye and returned home. Just as he sat down in the study, the servant Shuangshou came over to ask for instructions with a shopping list.

"Sir, these are tomorrow's menus, can you see if there is anything else you want to add or subtract?"

Jia Yucun took it over and looked at it. Although he doesn't have a lot of money now, he didn't lose everyone's meals. Every day there are meat such as chicken, duck, goose and fish, plus some seasonal vegetables.

She glanced across ten lines, and was about to nod, when she suddenly saw a few small characters written on the last line: tremella half a catty, red dates half a catty.

"It's almost autumn, and the weather is a little rough. It's just right to drink this soup. It's moist. Let the kitchen make it well tomorrow." After saying that, he handed the list back with a smile.

Shuangshou was a little dazed.

Mrs. Li said that tomorrow's soup is wax gourd pork ribs soup. Although he has not studied much, he also knows that this soup is for clearing away heat and cooling off the heat. How can it be said to be moist?

Jia Yucun asked him amusedly, "What's your expression? Can't I have a bowl of white fungus soup?"

"So the master said this." Shuangshou suddenly realized, "The bottom one is that Mrs. Xue asked Aunt Li to help me carry it. They pay for it themselves, and it has nothing to do with us. There are too many things I bought. I am afraid that I will I forgot, so I added it below in small characters."

Jia Yucun was puzzled and frowned slightly: "Since they live in my house, I will take care of everything they need. How do you collect her money? Return it quickly."

Shuangshou touched his head and smiled awkwardly: "This is not the first time. I asked me to buy a box of candied fruit before. I heard from Mrs. Li that the young lady of the Xue family had no appetite a few days ago, so they just paid for it. Aunt Li made custard..."

Jia Yucun's face showed displeasure, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, Shuangshou was afraid, and his voice became lower and lower.

"Nonsense!" Jia Yucun reprimanded with a cold face, "They are customers, how dare they take money for a small thing? Return it quickly. If they want anything else in the future, just write it down on the list and come to me together." Just get the money."

"Yes, yes, the villain doesn't dare anymore." Shuangshou almost knelt down.

"Okay, go get the silver from the box by yourself. Since they asked you for tremella, you should run now before it gets dark."

Shuangshou didn't dare to argue, and didn't dare to complain about the hard work, so he took the silver and went out.

……

Xue Shi and Xiang Ling hurried, and finally finished a set of dresses before dinner.

Xue Baochai was still wearing her original body, and hadn't changed it for three to five days. Once Xue was done, she didn't care to wash it in the water first, so she hurriedly called Baochai to change it.

Xue Baochai felt beautiful wearing a purple sauce-coloured top with cross-necked narrow sleeves and a long skirt with fringe.

Xue shook her head, the material is too bad, not to mention the color is too dull, the dyeing is not even enough.Still, it was a little better than the other dark sorrel.

Xue felt that her daughter had only a bare thin wooden hairpin on her head, which was too ugly, so she took off a gold-covered silver plum blossom hairpin from her own head, and carefully inserted it into her daughter's hair.

Baochai looked at the small bronze mirror, felt more satisfied, nodded her head, and then smiled sweetly at Mrs. Xue: "Mother, it's all right, let's go."

Jia Yucun and Mrs. Fan were accompanying Mrs. Song. They had just had dinner in the room, and they were sitting and drinking tea, while two concubines stood by and waited on them.

Chunhua came in and reported, "Mrs. Xue and Baochai are here to say hello."

Because Xue Baochai was bought by Jia Yucun, Chunhua has been calling her by name, and now everyone is a servant, who is superior to whom?Fan Shi heard it several times, but did not correct her.

Mrs. Song glanced at her son first, then said cheerfully, "Come in, please."

After a while, Mrs. Xue led Xue Baochai in.

Mrs. Xue saluted Mrs. Song first, then pushed Baochai next to her, and said to Mrs. Song with a smile: "Old lady, thank you for your family's willingness to take us in. We are so kind and virtuous. Let her give you a kowtow if you think it will be rewarded."

Although Baochai felt uncomfortable, she raised her head and smiled politely at Mrs. Song.

She is outstanding in appearance, even with a plain face, it is difficult to hide her beauty. In addition, she has a slender figure and a bulging chest. It changed slowly, showing two points of appreciation.

"It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful person. It's good like this, healthy and healthy. Those who can be blown down by a gust of wind are too weak. It doesn't look like a big blessing."

Mrs. Song's words were unintentional, but Fan Jiaoxing was dissatisfied when she didn't want to.

Because, Fan Jiaoxing is very, very thin.

She lowered her head slightly, hiding the anger in her eyes.

Xue didn't have eyes behind her back, so she couldn't see Fan Jiaoxing's expression. She smiled and thanked the old lady for her compliments, and at the same time nudged Baochai, motioning her to kneel down and kowtow.

Xue Baochai stabilized her body, looked around calmly, why did no one bring the mat up?

Mrs. Song: "There's no need to kneel, she's just fine, so let's go."

"Yes, yes." Xue said hastily, "You are an elder, and she is a junior, so I should kowtow to you." After she finished speaking, she pushed Baochai's back with a little force. Bundle.

Xue Baochai was caught off guard for a moment, but she just knelt down so straight.

The ground was covered with blue bricks, which were well-fitted, solid and hard. Baochai felt a pain in his knee, and took a deep breath, thinking that since he was already kneeling, he might as well make a good impression on others.

So, she imagined the old Mrs. Song sitting above her as a bodhisattva in the temple, and she kowtowed three times in a row.

When Mrs. Song saw this, her voice was full of joy: "Get up, it's cold on the ground." As soon as she finished speaking, the girl Yuhuan came to help Baochai.

After kowtowing to Mrs. Song, it was Jia Yucun and Fan Jiaoxing's turn. Mrs. Xue took Baochai and walked in front of the two who were sitting on the chairs to the east of the lower head.

Suddenly, Fan Jiaoxing rushed to say: "There is no need to kowtow, just salute."

As old as Mrs. Xue, she couldn't react to this sentence.

Logically, Baochai is now a girl in the family, and it is nothing to kowtow to the master, but Mrs. Xue does not want her daughter to suffer such grievances.Don't knock it, Mrs. Fan's words made people feel uncomfortable.

Xue Baochai's heart thumped. Could it be that her knees will suffer again?

Didn't you agree to only kowtow to the old lady?This is to add drama!

Jia Yucun glanced at Fan Jiaoxing indifferently, then turned his head and said softly to Mrs. Xue, "We are all relatives, so why bother to be polite."

"The etiquette cannot be discarded. We will remember Master Jia's kindness in our hearts." Mrs. Xue hurriedly got off the donkey along the slope, blessed her body, and said, "Baochai has been blessed by you, and she has just raised her body. Now that she’s better and can go to the ground, I’ll bring her over to say hello to you.”

Xue Baochai kept her head down, staring at Xue Shi from the corner of her eyes. She thought that her salute would definitely be substandard, but she didn't expect to see Xue doing it once, as if the memory of this body had been activated. When she saluted, her movements were smooth and she didn't look jerky at all.

Xue Baochai breathed out quietly, feeling very good about herself, and couldn't help giving herself a thumbs up in her heart.

When Jia Yucun called out softly, she raised her head slightly and glanced ahead.

With just one glance, she was startled.

Because Jia Yucun is so handsome!

The author has something to say: Xue Baochai looked confused.

Why does the big villain that has been passed down through the ages look like this?

Could it be that in the country of bad guys, do you still have to rely on face-washing to determine the status?
