[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

The deliberately ingratiating smile on Ying'er's face suddenly froze.

Seeing this, Chunhua curled her lips and slandered in her heart, this group of poor ghosts didn't even have decent clothes when they came here, how could I be greedy for your money?

Do you have any?

She untied her purse from her waist, counted the twelve coins carefully, and said: "There is a Dou Kee two streets away, just buy it. The money is just right. There are four in a box. You can buy it." Don't steal it, it's so close, your errand fee is not worth a piece of pastry."

Her tone was a little cold, and Ying'er didn't dare to get angry at all. After taking the money, she smiled obediently and said, "Don't worry, sister, I won't even open the box. Sister, go and change quickly, and have another cup of tea by the way." Take a rest, I will go in for you to serve Madam."

Seeing that she was so knowledgeable, Chunhua didn't say anything else, turned around and walked away slowly.

Ying'er entered the east wing lightly, not daring to peek around, found where Fan Jiaoxing was, walked over and sat on Chunhua's original small bench, picked up her fan and fanned it lightly.

This one fanned for nearly an hour, and Ying'er neither cried tired nor complained in her heart, after all, she was just a girl, either serving one or the other.

My girls don't like her watching over when they are sleeping more and more. It is good for them to make a good impression in front of Mrs. Fan when they have free time.

Yinger is not in a hurry, but Chunhua is.

One is that the pastries have not been bought and have not been eaten, and the other is that if the lady wakes up and sees a girl who is not her side serving, I am afraid that she will lose her temper.

After Chunhua went to the toilet, she drank a cup of tea, and then lay down on her little bed with her clothes on to rest, but she fell asleep without paying attention for a while.

Fortunately, she has also been a girl for many years, even when she sleeps, she still keeps a little bit of vigilance.A bird chirping from nowhere outside the window woke Chunhua up, and she hurried to the east wing.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wan was still awake. Chunhua entered the room lightly, took the fan from Yinger's hand, and pointed to the stool under her to get up quickly.

Ying'er stood up and smiled silently.

Chunhua pointed out again with her finger, Yinger understood, nodded and tiptoed out, just walked outside the door, Yinger turned her head inadvertently, saw Chunhua trying the surface of the stool with her hands, disgusted by her sitting hot, Impatiently, she sat down, just stood there, and slapped Mrs. Fan on the head twice with a fan.

Fan Jiaoxing's work and rest has always been very regular, and her afternoon nap usually takes between an hour and an hour and a half.

Originally, she was about to wake up at this moment, but the two gusts of cool wind from Chunhua fan directly opened Fan Jiaoxing's eyelids.

"Hey, why don't you sit? Are you standing all the time? You're not too tired." Fan Jiaoxing rubbed her face and got up.There are only two girls by my side, so I have to feel distressed when I should feel distressed, otherwise it will be no good to make them separate from me.

"Just now there was a mosquito on Madam's head, didn't it hurt you? It doesn't matter whether you are sitting or standing, Madam can sleep comfortably. It's nothing if we work hard as girls."

As long as Chunhua is willing, that sharp bad mouth can instantly become a sweet and delicate good mouth.

Ying'er outside the door heard that Fan Jiaoxing had woken up, and hurriedly hid in the shadows, not in a hurry to leave, she wanted to hear how Chunhua told his wife that she was going out.

Maybe, Chunhua wouldn't mention it at all?

Fan Jiaoxing was coaxed by Chunhua and smiled: "You and Qiuyue are both good girls. She is a little stupider than you, but she is stupid in her mouth. She can only do things but not talk. Of course, you are also hardworking. Look at you For the sake of hard work at noon, I will treat you to a snack next time."

"Thank you, madam." Chunhua narrowed her eyes with a smile, flattering her in haste, "It's such a coincidence, that girl Ying'er is going out to buy thread, so she came to ask her for instructions, she is taking a nap, I thought it was not a big deal, so I let her go." She went. It happened that my stomach was feeling unwell for the past two days, so I gave her fifteen cents and asked her to buy a box of soft cakes that are easy to digest."

Fan Jiaoxing paused for a moment, but she didn't want to admit defeat in front of her servants. Then she thought about it, it was only fifteen coins. If she came to reward it herself, how could she get such a pastry?Don't have to appear petty.

So, she smiled: "In this case, I will treat you and Qiuyue as my treats for the box of snacks. Go to the change box and get fifteen coins. I remember that there is still a broken piece of silver for three coins and eighty copper coins in it. You took it and there are exactly 65 left.”

When she mentioned the amount of money, she looked extremely serious, as if she was memorizing it in her heart at the same time.Chunhua knew her wife's temperament, so she didn't dare to play tricks on it, she quickly thanked her with a smile, and praised Fan Jiaoxing again and again, from her appearance to her character, she didn't miss a single thing, it was simply amazing.

Listening to her praise, Fan Jiaoxing felt that the fifteen cents was worth it.

She got off the bed with a smile and walked to the dressing table.

A small face appeared in the large carved mirror.

If you want to be called beautiful, you can't have a face as big as a basin. Although Fan Jiaoxing is also a small face, she is not an oval face or a melon-seed face. Her face is slender, and her complexion is yellowish, and her complexion is dry. Even if you just enjoyed the spiritual cleansing of spring flowers, you can't rely on your conscience to say that you are good-looking.

Even when the term "beauty is late" is applied to her, it is not biased.

Fan Jiaoxing looked at the mirror with a dazed expression.

She suddenly remembered when she was young, when Master Zhen's family was in good condition, and there were many servants in the mansion, but it seemed... none of them showed affection to her.

"Ma'am, shall I fetch water to wash your face?" Chunhua asked cautiously.

Even if she is eloquent, she can speak black and white, but whenever Madam looks in the mirror, it is when she is at a loss for words.

The reflection in the mirror is very clear, Madam is also looking at it, her eyes are obviously dry and lifeless, but you want to say that it is watery, where is the water?In the well?

Don't talk about asking for rewards, it's not bad to ask for a scolding from my wife.

Therefore, at this time, Chunhua can always avoid it.

"Go." Fan Jiaoxing waved her hand lightly, "Make another pot, I want to wash my face well."

After finishing speaking, she put on a blank face, and stretched out her hand to fiddle with the rouge and gouache on the dressing table, seeming to be sighing and complaining: "These things are not easy to use, let's change to something better next time."

She thought of Xue Baochai's face, which was white and tender, as if water would come out when pinched.But no matter how good the powder is, I can't do it. If I only apply a thin layer, the yellow gas can be seen through the powder.If it is applied thickly, it will be as pale as a ghost.

If there is a box of powder that can make her achieve the effect of Baochai, even if the price is more than a hundred taels, she is willing to buy it.

Chunhua pretended not to hear her last words, held her breath, and slipped out on tiptoe to fetch water.

"What's wrong with you?" Jia Yucun came back from the outside and went straight to the east chamber.

Suddenly hearing the master's voice, Fan Jiaoxing got up immediately, touched her face in embarrassment, and whispered: "It's nothing, I'm just waiting for the girl to fetch water to wash."

Fan Jiaoxing went up to meet him, waited for him to change into homely clothes, and called for tea.

Qiuyue brewed two cups of hot tea and brought them in. Fan Jiaoxing originally wanted to hold them for the master, but remembered that she hadn't washed her face after getting up, so she pouted at Qiuyue.

Qiuyue understood, she lowered her head and put the tea on the coffee table in front of the master, and then walked out with her head lowered.

Jia Yucun changed his clothes and drank tea in silence. For a while, the couple sat silently.

Fan Jiaoxing felt that the atmosphere was so silent that she didn't know a word about what the master was doing outside, and the master never discussed these things with the women in the back house, so she could only use herself as the topic.

"Looking in the mirror just now, I realized that I have aged a lot, like a flower left after autumn. It's my fault that it's blocking the master's eyes."

Fan Jiaoxing said these words with a smile, it sounded like she was joking herself, only she knew the uneasiness and sorrow deep in her heart.

Hearing this, Jia Yucun put down the teacup, shook his head and laughed, "I'm getting old too."

He raised his eyes and looked at Fan Shi, knowing what she was thinking.

Since that year, after her son died, the wife has been in such a preoccupied state, usually depressed.He also knew that she took a lot of side effects in private, and wanted to conceive another one as soon as possible, probably because she was destined to have a child, and there was no good news in the past few years.

Thinking of this, I felt pity for her, and comforted her in a warm voice: "Don't think too much, you are always my wife, and I respect you."

Fan Jiaoxing showed a shy smile at the right time.

My master doesn't like female sex, which is both good and bad.It is impossible for the women outside to want to come in, and it is just a fantasy for the people inside to occupy a very important position in the master's heart.

After laughing, she lowered her head again, feeling a little disappointed.

It would be even better if the master could hold her hand when he said this.

……

Ying'er heard Chunhua brazenly praise Mrs. Fan, and she left quietly.

After returning, Baochai woke up early.

Yinger hurriedly asked: "The girl is awake already? Have you washed your face yet? I'm going to fetch water now."

"Don't worry, I washed it myself."

Yinger suddenly felt ashamed, and said, "How can I let the girl do it herself? You should wait for me to do it."

"Aunt Li in the kitchen is very talkative. I went to fetch water, and she took me to chat a few times. You are usually very tired, and I can do these small things by myself. Now it is no different than before, and you should change it. You don’t have to just keep me alone, you should take a rest when you should rest. If you exhaust yourself, then I will really lose a helper.”

Baochai said it sincerely, although Yinger disagreed in her heart, she didn't refute it on her face.

She said with a smile: "Madam and Xiangling will probably also be sewing in the afternoon. Miss, why don't you go and talk to them? I've told Mrs. Fan, and I'm going out to buy thread now. Miss, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Can you go out?" Baochai's eyes widened in surprise, and he calculated in his heart, "Yellow must not be missing, and yellow is the best match for chrysanthemum buckles. Others...you can figure it out, it is best to use everything Pick some of them all, and only pick the ones that are of good quality, and don’t waste those few copper coins. When the quality of things improves, they will sell better.”

Ying'er understood the last sentence half-understood, so she didn't intervene, and obediently responded: "Then red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple? I'll show it to you first when you buy it. If it doesn't fit, I'll change it."

"Okay, go quickly." Baochai urged, she was gearing up to dig out the first pot of gold here.

The author has something to say: Fan Jiaoxing: Although I am not very good-looking, fortunately my master does not like women, especially the backyard.

Jia Yucun looked reserved, nodded with a smile.

Soon, his face was slapped...
