[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Wanrong stood alone in the courtyard, facing the sun, her cheeks were hot, she knew it was not from the sun, but from being ashamed.

After standing there for a quarter of an hour, her shame gradually dissipated, and she put the purse back into her bosom again, muttering, "If you don't want it, then don't, I'll keep it for myself."

Thinking of going to curry favor with Baochai, she forgot the embarrassment just now, and hurried to the main room with a handkerchief in her hand.

By the time she entered the house, Xue Pan's presents had already been distributed.Mrs. Zhen didn't know whether my son-in-law gave Wanrong outside, or if she didn't prepare for Wanrong at all, she couldn't ask on the spot, so she secretly decided to let Wanrong choose from her share when she got back to the house.

Wanrong came in, without looking at anyone else, she went straight to the big fat sheep Baochai.

She smiled and said: "Just now my cousin said that there is a shortage of handkerchiefs, but I have a new one here, so I will give it to my cousin."

Ying'er looked calm, but she was on the verge of laughing, why does my girl need a handkerchief?Saying that is just trying to save face for Mrs. Zhen.

Baochai was surprised for a moment, not knowing whether the girl was innocent or just stupid, she couldn't even recognize polite words.She quickly refused with a smile: "You keep it for yourself, I have enough here."

"I have it too, I'll give this to my cousin." Wanrong persuaded again, and even forced the handkerchief into Baochai's hand.

Baochai broke free gently, waved her hands, and said kindly: "I really have enough, you can keep it for yourself." As if she was afraid that Wanrong would stuff it again, she quickly picked up the teacup, not Keep your hands free.

Wanrong was a little embarrassed, and found that Baochai had started to drink tea with her head down, and she had no intention of rewarding her at all, and a deep look of disappointment floated on her face.

Baochai drank two sips of tea, saw Wanrong was still standing in front of her, and said politely: "Thank you for thinking of me so much, next time you have time, come and play with me."

The biggest official Wanrong has ever met in her life is the village head of her village. Being able to visit the home of a high official in the imperial court is a wonderful thing that she could never have dreamed of. She immediately cheered up and nodded desperately: "I will definitely go."

I don't know if the house where the adults live is bigger than Xue's house?How expensive are their meals?Is the room really decorated with gold and jade?

Wanrong fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Wan Rong insisted on giving Baochai handkerchief, Xue Pan remembered that she wanted to give him a purse just now.Xue Pan's brain circuits are different from those of ordinary people, they are long and curved. Only then did he realize that this is wrong, why is a cousin giving him a purse?

Fortunately, I didn't accept it, otherwise Xiangling would be paranoid when she found out.

Xue Pan didn't say a word, just rolled his eyes in his belly, the purse was so ugly, the stitching skills were not as meticulous as Xiangling's, and the ingenuity was not as good as Baochai's little finger, why did he wrong himself to accept such a bag? ugly thing?

Everyone talked for a while, and the girl went back and forth to Mrs. Xue, saying that lunch was ready, and asked if the meal should be served now.

Baochai was worried that the old lady was alone at home, so she said to Mrs. Xue, "Let's put it on, I have to go back early."

Mrs. Xue nodded: "I'll let your brother see you off after dinner, and I won't keep you any longer today." After finishing speaking, she turned to Mrs. Zhen and explained, "My uncle has gone out on business, and only treasure is left at home. Chai and her mother-in-law. I asked her mother-in-law to come and play with me for half a day, but the old man doesn’t like to move around because he’s getting old, so he doesn’t want to come.”

Mrs. Zhen hurriedly responded: "That's right, we should go back earlier."

While talking, the food had already been set, a big table was full, except for Xue Pan, there was no other man here, and because they were in-laws, so there were no separate seats, everyone sat down and ate together.

After dinner, Baochai didn't even drink tea, and got up to go home. Mrs. Xue and Xiangling wanted to give Baochai off, so Mrs. Zhen also pulled Wanrong to follow.

When they reached the gate, Baochai politely said to Mrs. Zhen and Wanrong: "You have just arrived in Beijing, and you are tired from the long journey. After a few days of rest, you can go to my place to play."

Mrs. Zhen hastily declined: "Master Jia is not at home, so we won't bother you."

Wanrong became anxious when she heard this, and said loudly: "I am willing to go. My cousin is not here, my cousin is so bored, I am willing to go and talk to my cousin."

Baochai smiled at her, and then looked at Mrs. Zhen: "Auntie, you are too polite. Mother and brother often go to visit me. It will be very convenient for them to take you with them."

Xue said with a smile: "It's hard for my wife to come here, and it's uncomfortable to be bored in the house every day. Besides, it's my uncle's house, and it's not someone else, so it doesn't matter if you go to play."

Xue Pan prepared the sedan chair and saw that the women were coming and going politely. It might not be enough to give them two quarters of an hour to say goodbye, so he became a little impatient: "The two families are not far away, and it only takes half an hour to get on the sedan chair. Let's talk about it when we meet again, my nephew can't bear to be basking in the sun like this."

Chao'er was young, and it was the sunniest time in the afternoon, Xue hurriedly urged Baochai to get on the sedan chair, and told Xue Pan to protect her all the way, watching the sedan chair go out of the gate, she was willing to turn around and go back.

Mrs. Xue walked in with Mrs. Zhen on her arm, and said, "It's already this time, and the wife in-law should also go back to the house for a rest?"

Mrs. Zhen has never taken a nap since she returned to her natal family. She wakes up earlier than chickens and sleeps later than dogs every day. Head, said to her daughter: "Xiang Ling, quickly serve your mother-in-law to rest."

How could Mrs. Xue let her pregnant daughter-in-law serve him, and smiled and told Xiangling: "Take your mother to rest, and I will go back to the house by myself."

Xiangling nodded, sent her mother and Wanrong back to their room, and then returned to the east chamber to rest.

Mrs. Zhen couldn't sleep, thinking of the jewelry her son-in-law bought for herself, she was afraid that Wanrong's absence would make her unhappy, so she rushed to find Wanrong with them.

The rooms they lived in were next to each other. When Mrs. Zhen came over, Wanrong was not asleep, she was lying on the bed admiring the golden hairpin Baochai gave her.

"Aunt, why don't you sleep for a while?"

"I've been here for two days and played for two days. I don't have to do any work during the day, and I go to bed early at night. How can I sleep so much?" Mrs. Zhen approached, sat down on the edge of the bed, and put the things she just got into Take them all out, "This is the gold bracelet and the silver bracelet my son-in-law bought for me. Take a look and take whichever you like."

When Mrs. Zhen first returned to her natal home, Wanrong hadn't even been born yet, and she almost watched Wanrong grow up.Coupled with the loss of Xiangling, Mrs. Zhen couldn't help transferring all her maternal love to Wanrong, treating her as her second daughter.

"The style of this gold bracelet is too old-fashioned." Wanrong only glanced at it lightly, and then reached out to pick up the silver bracelet, "This pair looks pretty good."

Mrs. Zhen stuffed the silver bracelet into Wanrong's hand and said with a smile, "I'll give it all to you."

Wanrong didn't feel very touched, because when she was at home, she was the first to pick out all the things that women used.

Wanrong took the silver bracelet in her hand and casually played with it, then said softly: "Although it doesn't suit me, it suits my mother."

Mrs. Zhen immediately understood, quickly wrapped the gold bracelet with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "I'll give it to my sister-in-law when I get back."

Wanrong reached out and snatched the gold bracelet, uncovered the outer handkerchief, then put it on Mrs. Zhen's wrist, and blamed: "My cousin bought these because I saw that my aunt was bald. My aunt didn't wear it on her body, but instead I still have to put it away, if my cousin-in-law sees it, what will he think?"

"You're right, then I'll borrow it for a few days." Mrs. Zhen was very moved, as if Wanrong paid for the gold bracelet.

She slowly caressed the gold bracelet on her wrist, looked at Wanrong with a smile, and thought of the incident when her sister-in-law asked her to help her make a kiss.

Wanrong didn't know what was going on in her mind, so she wrapped the remaining pair of silver bracelets in a handkerchief and handed them to Mrs. Zhen: "Auntie, keep them and wear them with the gold bracelets."

In fact, Wanrong also likes this pair of silver bracelets very much, and she really wants to keep them for herself, but she is not so stupid. The cousin's husband just bought jewelry for his aunt, and the back foot is on her body. What will the cousin's husband think of her?

Let my aunt wear it first, and when I return to my hometown, aren't these all my own?

Wanrong yawned. She was raised tenderly since she was a child, and the daily lunch break is indispensable. Now she was feeling a little sleepy. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhen immediately got up: "Sleep well, I'll go see your cousin."

Xiangling was still awake, she was waiting for Xue Pan to come home.

As soon as Mrs. Zhen entered the room and saw her daughter sitting on the couch doing needlework, she nodded, "That's right. How can a wife rest by herself before her husband comes back? Even if she is pregnant, she can't be spoiled." Be proud, otherwise others will say that you are not virtuous."

"Mom, come and sit down."

What Xiangling was holding was the clothes made for Mrs. Zhen, she casually stuffed them into the sewing basket, and then asked the girl to pour tea.

Mrs. Zhen waved her hand: "I don't drink tea, don't be busy." After a pause, she said to the girl again, "I have a few words to say to your young mistress, why don't you play outside for a while?"

The girl immediately looked at Xiangling, and she went out when she saw Xiangling nodded.

"Mother, what do you want to tell me?" Xiangling asked softly, "Is there something missing in the house?"

"No shortage, no shortage of anything, everything is fine." Mrs. Zhen smiled, "I originally thought that our mother and daughter would never see each other in this life, and I didn't want to have this blessing. You are married well, and your mother-in-law is kind. , my son-in-law is handsome, down-to-earth and capable, the family has a house and a shop, seeing you like this makes me so happy."

Xue Pan guarded a small shop all day long, with Baochai and Jia Yucun watching over from time to time. In the eyes of Mrs. Zhen, Xue Pan became a capable person.

Xiangling would not tarnish Xue Pan's image outside, not even to her own mother, so she didn't say a word, which was her tacit consent.

"Mother, grandpa is gone, and it's not a long-term solution for you to live with your uncle's family. It's better to stay, and I will take care of you in the future."

During these two days of getting along, even if Mrs. Zhen didn't say it clearly, Xiangling could tell that her mother had a hard time at the uncle's house.She was very distressed, so she repeated the old story, hoping that her mother could stay.

"How can this work? It's enough for you to have this kind of intention." Mrs. Zhen was very happy in her heart, she is the easiest person to satisfy, "Your uncle's place is my natal home after all, women can't live well, so go back to natal home There is nothing wrong with that, how can you go to live with my uncle's parents? Your mother-in-law is still there, and it is not your turn to make decisions about this family. You can live your life with peace of mind, don't worry about me. "

"Why didn't it disappear? When the house caught fire and the house burned down, didn't my father also go to my grandfather? Besides, this idea was first proposed by my mother-in-law. She is the most kind person. Mother and her You’ll know it after getting along for a long time.”

Mrs. Zhen was silent.
