[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

When Xue Baochai first passed through, it was the time when her injury was the worst and her head hurt the most, and she was hit by her identity as a girl, so she didn't think much about it.

I just recuperate quietly every day, and forget about other things.

At this time, when Yinger ruthlessly uncovered it, Xue Baochai was startled, and many questions came out.

For example, why didn't Mrs. Xue buy herself back then?

Why did they borrow and live at Jia Yucun's house instead of going back to their own?

After all, her mother is also Aunt Xue who is famous for "a good year with heavy snow, pearls like earth and gold like iron", and her clothes and jewelry are not as good as Fan Jiaoxing's!

"Girl, don't scare me, just say what you have to say, Ying'er listen up!" Seeing Baochai's blank expression, Ying'er was afraid of scaring her own girl out of her mind.

Xue Baochai slowly came back to her senses, and asked with dull eyes: "Then we... how much money does my mother have now?"

"It's less than ten taels in total." Ying'er answered cautiously.

Xue Baochai didn't speak, and lowered her head, suddenly feeling hopeless.Ying'er was still calling her softly, but Baochai said weakly without raising her head, "Go back to bed, I'm going to sleep too."

Ying'er didn't dare to go, she graciously helped her to lie down: "Miss, go to bed first, and I will leave when you fall asleep."

Baochai was restless and said angrily, "I can't sleep because of you. Let's go." After saying that, he waved his hand.

Ying'er hesitated for a moment, dawdled, and walked out step by step.

Xue Baochai was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She wrung her fingers and calculated again and again, besides her own mother who wanted to take care of herself, hearing Xue's tone, it seemed that she wanted to fish Xue Pan out with money.

The question is... what about the money?Where does the money come from?

Four people, with a total of less than ten taels of property, two of them are still in the hands of others, a nest of women, no house, no shop, and it is difficult to show their faces, this is really the end of the road.

She turned over the bed, and the thin, rough bed suddenly made an unpleasant creaking sound. Baochai dared not move any more, and sighed secretly, cheering herself up in the dark.

The road is made by people, and the money is earned. As long as the hands and feet are still there, is it really resigned to fate and not working hard because of the bad cards in hand?

This is not my character.

I was thinking about ways to make money in my mind, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, didn't the second grandma Bao in the book still have a posthumous child?It is said that he was very competitive, and when he grew up, he became famous and revived his family.

The four words "Langui Qifang" did not appear for nothing.

Xue Baochai sat up slowly, squinting her eyes and smiling.

With this son, she suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders had been lightened by more than half. She touched her flat belly and looked forward to it: "You must live up to it. In the future, I will rely on you for my pension."

Others can pay for the mother's debt, and she can also pay the mother's debt.As long as she has worked hard to raise her son for the first ten years, she will be able to stay at home safely and be her old lady in the future. It is wonderful to think about it.Compared with the good days in the future, what are the current setbacks and hardships?

The depression in Xue Baochai's heart was swept away, his whole body was full of fighting spirit, and a pair of extremely beautiful almond eyes shone brightly in the dark.

……

Early the next morning, Xue Baochai woke up, and Xiangling came in with water to wash up.

When Mrs. Xue came over, Baochai was combing her hair.

Hairstyles for ancient people are quite troublesome. Although Xiangling tried her best to ask for help, Baochai still politely refused.Isn't it just a bun?She doesn't believe that Xiangling can comb her hair by herself, so why can't she do it herself?

She didn't do those complicated styles either, she just tied her hair tightly into a bun at the back of her head, and fixed it with the plum blossom hairpin Xue Shi gave her.

In the end, I looked at the mirror left and right, and I felt quite complacent, isn't it difficult!

Mrs. Xue came in, took a look, and said with a smile: "My daughter is born well and young, even with a plain face, she is many times better than others."

"Mom, have you had breakfast yet?"

Probably every mother looked at her daughter with a filter, Xue Baochai automatically skipped it and greeted her with a smile.

Xiangling immediately said: "I'll go to the kitchen to get some food."

The kitchen is very close, but only a few rooms away, Xiang Ling came back soon, holding a tray in her hand.

Three bowls of porridge, one dish of pickles, and three white steamed buns, this is their breakfast.

Mrs. Xue took Baochai to sit down to eat, and called Xiangling to sit and eat together. Baochai took a sip of the porridge and asked, "Where is Yinger? I didn't see her when I got up. Why don't you even have breakfast now?" Can't see anyone?"

Usually, Yinger is like Baochai's shadow, unless the girl speaks, she can take care of her around the clock.

Even though a wife had said that she was allowed to have dinner at the same table, Xiangling was happy and panicked at the same time. She was also cautious when she sat down. First she put some pickles for the wife, and then some for Baochai, and then she replied: "She was taken Chunhua called over to help, but she didn't know what it was. Don't worry, girl, I'll ask Aunt Li to warm Yinger's food on the stove."

Xue's eyes darkened when she heard the words, Baochai didn't think much about it, she nodded to show that she understood, and then everyone continued to eat.

At the end of the meal, Xiangling returned the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and made two more cups of tea, one for Xue and the other for Baochai.

Xue sipped it slowly, the taste of the tea was bitter and astringent, which made people want to frown.

This kind of rough tea, drinking it for the first time is like horse urine, wishing I could spit it all out and then rinse my mouth well.The second time, it felt like taking medicine.After drinking for the third time... I gradually accepted it.

It's just that the tea leaves are older and the taste is a little bit bitter, it's better than nothing, better than drinking plain water.

What's more, even this kind of tea is only a small pot, drinking it early in the morning will refresh you, but you can avoid it at noon and night, you have to save some.

Xue Baochai took the tea and was not in a hurry to drink it. Instead, she was a little shy and asked, "Is this black tea or green tea? Warm or cool?"

After all, she is different now. She should have a promising son who can give her a pension, so it's better to avoid it.

She didn't even want to eat that dish of pickles. Didn't the pickles contain a lot of dimethyl nitrite?Long-term consumption can easily cause various diseases, not to mention that the plate of pickles is dry, without even a drop of sesame oil. If the porridge and steamed buns are not too bland, she really doesn't want to touch the pickles.

Xue smiled helplessly: "Why, you can't even distinguish the tea leaves? This is green tea."

Xiangling hurriedly spoke good words for her girl, saying: "You can't blame the girl, after all, even us servants would not bother to drink this kind of old tea in the past. The girl has never seen it, so naturally she can't recognize it."

"Then I won't drink it." Xue Baochai put down the teacup that he hadn't touched, and gently touched his lower abdomen, the smile on his face became more shy, "It's too cold, I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable after drinking it."

She hasn't been in a relationship yet, and now she has one in her belly, even to her mother with this body, it's a little hard to tell.

Xue only thought that her daughter's little day was coming soon, and didn't think too deeply about it, so she said, "It's fine if you don't drink it, and I'll drink it later."

This can of rough old tea is also precious to Mrs. Xue, and she doesn't want to waste it.

Xiangling quickly poured another cup of hot water over: "Girl, drink some hot water first."

Sitting and gossiping for a few minutes, after eating and drinking, Xue got up and went to the next room with Xiangling to continue the rest of the needlework.

Baochai was a little bored, there was not even a book in the house, and it was hard to pass the day. She walked slowly to the door of the house, waited for a while, but no one else came out, so she tentatively went out of the door, wanting to take a stroll in the yard.

Bored and staring at a dwarf holly for a while, Ying'er came out of the west wing, saw the girl standing outside, and rushed to meet her: "Why did the girl come out? Have you taken the morning medicine?"

"Not yet, it's boiling." Baochai shook her head, not knowing what Ying'er was doing, her hands looked dirty, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? Go wash your hands, I'll go to the kitchen to get it for you." meals."

"How can this happen." Ying'er raised her dirty hands and waved her hands again and again, "Young lady just rest, I'll get it myself."

"Stop rambling, how can you touch the food when your hands are so dirty? You go wash your hands, I just want to take a walk too." Baochai said, and went straight to the kitchen.

Ying'er stood where she was, extremely moved.After a while, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve before going to the well to fetch water and wash her hands.

When Xue Baochai came to the kitchen and saw a woman wearing an apron busy on the stove, she knew that this was Aunt Li who was in charge of cooking.

"Aunt Li." She called someone, and when the other person turned around, she smiled sweetly again, "I'll get Yinger's breakfast."

On the ground at the side, squatting a little girl, picking vegetables there.

Baochai walked over and asked her with a smile: "You are Aunt Li's daughter, Tweet, right? It's a pity that I don't bring candy with me. Next time you come to play in my room, I'll give you some money to buy some fruit."

Tweety's face flushed with joy, her eyes sparkled.

This elder sister is really good-looking and has a nice voice. What's more rare is this kind and amiable attitude, which Tweety has never seen in other people.

Aunt Li put down the work she was busy with, wiped her hands on the apron, and said with a smile: "It's rare to see the little lady come out, the kitchen is dirty, just call at the door, and I'll just send it there. She alone Little girl, don’t eat fruit, thank you for your kindness.”

"Ma'am, just call me Baochai." What little lady, why does it sound as unpleasant as the word "Second Grandma Bao"?

"Miss Baochai," Aunt Li smiled even more, "As expected, she is from a wealthy family. This appearance is truly one of a kind. Not only is her appearance good, but her character is even more rare."

"My aunt's compliments made me blush." ​​Xue Baochai said politely.

"I'm telling the truth." Aunt Li said as she took out the warm food, "I have worked for people for most of my life. Although I haven't met many people, I have served several masters back and forth. Home, those young ladies are still far behind Baochai girls!"

Xue Baochai's face was finally flushed by the praise, and she took the food: "Thank you aunt for helping Yinger warm the food. She is hungry, so I will go there first, and I will talk to auntie next time."

"Okay. If you want to eat anything, just come to me!" Aunt Li was extremely enthusiastic.

Xue Baochai nodded, thanked again, and left with the tray.

The author has something to say: Baochai is very pleased.

God is really fair, when a door is closed, a window must be opened.

With this son, I am not afraid of any hardships!
