[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

The emperor was ill, and people from all sides took action secretly. Zhu Yu found an opportunity to meet the emperor and asked the third brother to return to Beijing to serve the illness.

Calling the third prince back is just an excuse, what Zhu Yu wants most is to get Jia Yucun back as soon as possible.

The emperor pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Jia Yucun not only has outstanding talents, but also has strong mobility. It took nearly a month to straighten out all the affairs in the disaster county. Even if he withdraws now, those who stay only need to follow the rules. According to the order of the court, he packed his luggage and prepared to return to Beijing.

Zhu Rong fully thought that it was his turn to take the lead this time, but he didn't want the emperor to be alive despite the damage to the dragon's body, and he ordered the cabinet to handle political affairs on his behalf, Zhu Rong's face turned dark, but he was helpless.

As a result, there was a lot of turmoil in the court hall, and a large number of people were killed by the servants and the imperial dining room that night. These did not affect Baochai's life at all, because she and Mrs. Song only stayed in the backyard all day long, and there was no reason for them. There was no wind.

Xue Pan opened a shop to do business, but he heard a few gossips, but he was not sure, so he rushed to Jia's mansion to ask Baochai if he had any inside information.

Baochai is talking with the female shopkeeper of Jinyu Embroidery Village. The handicrafts that Baochai does are very popular among the ladies and wives in the capital. Back then, the Embroidery Factory bought seven styles from her and sold them at a high price, earning a lot of money. surplus.

This year, Baochai was pregnant and gave birth to a child, so the quantity she made was much smaller, but every month she could sell one or two new styles in her own shop. Jin Yuxiu Zhuang saw her and wanted to trade with her again.

This time, the people at Jinyu Embroidery Village were full of sincerity, and the price of the single item was raised to 500 taels.

Baochai was a little moved. To be honest, all the money she earned before was invested in a shop, and she received a fixed monthly rent. Her life was already very rich, and she did not lack the money she earned by hand.What's more, having a child is always busy, and you have to take care of the housework, so you have more energy than energy.

Now that Chao'er is still young, she sleeps soundly all day long, which is relatively easy to take care of. When her son grows up, the need for his parents' company will gradually increase. Presumably by then, she will not be able to spare her hands to do these tasks.

Baochai was still thinking about it, and the female shopkeeper of the embroidery village only thought that she was not satisfied with the price, so she gritted her teeth and raised it to 550 taels.

Baochai first glanced at the shopkeeper Qian next to him, who nodded insignificantly, and then Baochai smiled and said to the female shopkeeper of the embroidery village: "Thanks to you, since you have the heart, it is better to be familiar with it, then At this price, I don’t know what styles you want this time?”

Seeing that she finally agreed, the female shopkeeper happily counted them one by one.This time, Baochai didn't hide his secrets, he simply sold all the things he knew, and successfully earned more than 6000 taels.

When Xue Pan entered the door, it happened that the shopkeeper Qian was leading the people from the embroidery village out, and the two greeted each other. Xue Pan walked in and asked the senior manager, "What are they doing here?"

The senior executive replied with a smile: "I'm talking about business with my wife."

"She made money again?" Xue Pan rubbed his hands with a very excited expression, "I'm so envious, my sister just keeps talking and earns a lot more than me!"

"You don't just move your mouth, you have to move your fingers." Senior executives don't know how to be a female celebrity, and they know that it is very hard to do it.

Xue Pan raised his head slightly, proud of having such a capable younger sister, he said without hesitation, "That's right, you need to use your fingers when counting bank notes."

Senior executive: "..." Why do you feel so tired talking to Young Master Xue?

Xue Pan was happy for a while, and finally remembered the reason for his visit. Afraid of frightening the old lady, he went straight to the east courtyard to look for Baochai.

Baochai couldn't help frowning when he heard him blah, and asked, "Where did you hear it? Is the emperor really sick? Is it serious?"

"I heard people say that the emperor vomited a basin full of blood, and he can't even get out of bed now!"

Xue Pan's eyebrows danced brightly, and he made gestures, as if he was squatting in front of the dragon bed and watched the whole process in person. Baochai couldn't stand his appearance, and said angrily: "Tell ten, ten, hundreds, and everyone says what they say. It can be passed on as a watermelon, brother, stop talking nonsense outside."

He also vomited a pot of blood, right?

"Hey, I also care about the emperor." Xue Pan rubbed his head and smirked, "Sister, haven't you heard about this?"

"Where did I find out? The master is not at home, and the old lady and I don't go out to socialize."

"That's true." Xue Pan was a little disappointed, but soon cheered up again, "There is no wind, even if the emperor's condition is not so serious, he is probably ill, otherwise how could such gossip spread? My sister, guess what?" , Is my brother-in-law coming back soon?"

Baochai thought about it seriously, and finally shook her head: "Master's last letter from home was sent back six days ago, and he didn't mention it in the letter, so we can't say for sure."

"Maybe my brother-in-law will be called back soon, so I should return the horse. I just came here on a horse, so I won't ride away later."

The horses in Jiayu village were lent to Xue Pan, but the daily care was handled by the servants of Jia’s mansion. Besides, Xue Pan is now honest, living a two-point and one-line life between his home and the shop, and sometimes he has to come to Jia’s mansion to send The servants come to ask for a horse, and just ride it casually to enjoy themselves.

"He hasn't come back yet. If you like, you can ride first. It's sweltering in the sedan chair. It's better to ride back later. Ride slowly on the road so as not to bump into people."

Before the Xue family collapsed, Xue Pan was also a young man in fresh clothes who rode horses and paraded through the streets. Although he lived a comfortable life now, he did not have the luxury enjoyment in the past.

Xue Pan liked to ride horses in his heart, so he nodded when he heard the words: "Then I'll ride back, and I'll ask the servant to lead me back later."

"Whatever, I don't care about your men's affairs." Borrowing a horse is like borrowing a cart, and Baochai can't ride a horse, and she doesn't like riding a horse either.

Xue Pan failed to hear the exclusive insider news from Baochai, thinking that maybe his brother-in-law would be back soon, he had to ride a horse before that, and while it was still early, he could ride a horse to the street One lap, so I got up and wanted to leave.

Baochai stopped him: "What's the hurry? Sit down for a while. How is Aunt Zhen's business?"

Xue Pan's ass just lifted up, so he had to sit back again, and said with a smile: "What else can I do, I tried to persuade my mother-in-law, but she refused to listen, and Xiangling also tried to persuade it, but it was useless. Matchmaker."

"A matchmaker? She is really stubborn." Baochai was surprised.

"That's right, Mother doesn't want to, so she keeps procrastinating to deal with them."

"This matter is also easy to handle. Discuss the excuse with the matchmaker in advance, and just say that there is no suitable one."

"I don't care about that, I'm a big man, and I'm the most impatient to listen to these women's affairs."

Seeing that Xue Pan couldn't sit still, Baochai couldn't help but smile, "Okay, okay, I know you really want to go, let me say one last thing, I agreed before." Aunt Zhen invited Aunt Zhen to come over to play, after all, they are in-laws, so it doesn’t count if you don’t talk well, you go back and tell your mother, and I will wait at home on the day after tomorrow.”

"Understood, is there anything else?" Xue Pan hurriedly stood up.

"It's gone, it's gone, you should be careful on the road, and don't ride too fast."

"Do you still need to tell me? You can't get a lawsuit if you bump into someone? I don't want to go to the cell anymore. I'm scared to death. Then I'm leaving."

Xue Pan walked fast, led the horse and rode away, and the young man who followed him trotted behind to catch up. He wandered around for more than an hour, until he had enjoyed enough of the feeling of wanton flying and blowing enough of the cool breeze , Then turned the horse's head and went home.

When he got home, he told Baochai about his appointment to visit the day after tomorrow, Mrs. Xue agreed, and called Mrs. Zhen and Wanrong.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhen immediately declined: "It's not good to disturb Madam, let's forget about it?"

Wanrong immediately quit, and moved closer to Xue's side to act like a spoiled child: "Auntie, I want to go. I haven't seen my second cousin for several days, and I'm thinking very much."

Mrs. Xue touched the top of her head and said kindly, "Since Baochai has invited us, we will go together on that day. We are all relatives, so don't be too restrictive. Baochai's mother-in-law is also a good talker."

Mrs. Zhen didn't want to appear ignorant of flattery, so she nodded and said with a smile: "That's really great, I'm a country woman, and I'm afraid of going to other people's houses to make jokes."

Wanrong doesn't like the word country woman very much, and it's not a good word, so what's the point of mentioning it all the time?My aunt doesn't mind this status, but reminds others all the time that she is just a country girl.

Wanrong curled her lips secretly, and when she thought of going to the senior official's house to see her, she became happy again, and pestered Mrs. Xue to ask questions: "Is there anything I should pay attention to when I go to my cousin's house? What kind of clothes should I wear?" Okay? What jewelry should I wear? Will I go in a sedan chair or a carriage?"

"Haha!" Mrs. Xue laughed twice, "There are not so many rules in Baochai's family, just do as usual. As for clothes and jewelry, you can wear whatever you like. When the time comes, we will sit in a sedan chair, and your cousin will ride on it." Send us a horse."

As soon as she heard that there were still horses, Wanrong immediately looked at Xue Pan with bright eyes. How many girls yearn for a handsome boy riding a tall horse!

Frightened by her scorching eyes, Xue Pan shivered in the hot weather, quickly waved his hands, and said frankly: "It's not my horse, it's my brother-in-law's. He just borrowed me for a few days when he went out on business."

"Oh." Wanrong's enthusiasm dropped by half in an instant, and she turned her head and began to think about what to wear on the day when she was a guest.

……

Jia Yucun hurried all the way, and finally made it to the city before dark. When they arrived at the door, Shuangshou stepped forward to call the door, and just happened to be the senior executive passing by the door. He heard the voice familiar, but still couldn't believe it, could it be the master? Came back without saying a word?

"Open the door, open the door!" Seeing that there was no answer from inside, Shuangshou yelled loudly again.

The senior manager was quick-witted, and quickly opened the door, his face full of joy: "It's just that I heard it wrong, it turns out that the master is really back!"

Jia Yucun raised his feet and walked in: "Well, I walked in a hurry, so I didn't write a letter to inform my family. Is my family okay for more than a month?"

"Okay, okay! Master Xue will come over every few days to take care of him, and Mrs. Xue often comes to accompany the old lady and his wife. People from Xiuzhuang came here today, and my wife negotiated a deal with them... "

The senior executive spoke very fast, and soon reported the major events that happened.
