[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Ying'er went out with the money in her pocket, and came back an hour later. She bought two large boxes of thread balls of various colors, and spent a total of five renminbi.

She handed all the things and the rest of the money to Baochai, and she didn't even have time to take a sip of water, and was anxious to send the cakes to Chunhua.

Since moving to this small courtyard, Madam has become more and more stingy when it comes to food. Even a respectable girl like Chunhua can only get two chopsticks of meat dishes for lunch every day.

Her mouth was already so pale that it was almost tasteless, so she couldn't help herself from spending money to buy some snacks.Fortunately, she was clever, and the money for this box of snacks was also paid by the wife, and she even earned two copper coins.

Thinking of this, Chunhua couldn't help feeling elated, and at the same time anxiously waiting, why did Yinger go away for so long and still not come back.

When she was annoyed, Yinger trotted over, with beads of sweat hanging on her forehead.

Chunhua snatched the box, opened it, and saw that there were four complete snacks, no more, no less, so she smiled and said thank you lightly.

Ying'er wiped off her sweat, smiled at her, then turned and left. She was in a hurry to go back and make money with the girl!

Xue Baochai was arranging the threads, and while he was calculating in his mind which styles and colors to make, when he saw Yinger coming in, he waved to her with a smile: "Come on, let's discuss it."

Ying'er walked up to Baochai and sat down, and asked enthusiastically, "What styles do you want to make?"

Because there was no paper and pen, Xue Baochai could only gesticulate on the table with her fingers. Yinger looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand it, and said shyly, "The girl's thinking is so delicate, I probably won't be able to learn it. How about I still make some old styles and the girl is in charge of these new ones?"

"That's fine. Whether it's old or new, there's a market for it." Xue Baochai's eyes sparkled, and he started to pull Ying'er.

The master and the servant were in high spirits, Baochai thought that there was only one way to make money for the time being, so she naturally went all out, while Yinger was afraid to go west if her daughter said something.

The two of them kept their hands busy for a whole afternoon, and they refused to take a break after dinner. They lit the lamp and continued to rush to work.

In the middle of the day, Xue saw that the two men seemed to be possessed by demons and still refused to rest, so she came over to persuade them.

"Baochai, you have to sleep for big things, and you're still taking medicine, why don't you take care of your body so much?"

Xue Baochai took time out of her busy schedule to look up and saw that Xue's face was rarely on the floor, so she stopped what she was doing and said with a smile, "I'm not tired, why don't you rest?"

Angry and funny, Mrs. Xue glared at her lightly, and then told Yinger who was working hard: "Yinger also stop, for a few copper coins, what should I do if I burn my eyes out."

Ying'er was very obedient, got up to pour water for his wife, tapped her own neck, and argued: "Ma'am, weaving a knot is easy on the eyes, but my neck is a little sore."

Xue reached out her hand to stop her: "Don't be so busy, I won't drink."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Baochai back to him, helped her massage the back of her neck, and said with great distress: "I know you are anxious, but no matter how anxious you are, you can't eat hot tofu. Seeing you like this makes me feel bad. Do it Get up for an hour or two and take a walk to rest, don't worry me."

How can Mrs. Xue help people massage, but just pinch them casually.

Even so, it made Baochai feel very comfortable. He kept his head down all afternoon, and didn't feel it without talking. When he lifted it, it felt like an iron lump had fallen on the back of his neck, which was sore and swollen, which was extremely uncomfortable.

She turned her head and smiled at Xue Shi, her watery almond eyes curved into crescent buds, and two dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible.

"It will be fine when you wake up after a nap. Mother doesn't need to press it anymore, so as not to tire you."

Xiang Ling rolled up her sleeves and came over to replace Xue Shi: "Madam rest, let me come."

Before the accident in Rongguo Mansion, the Xue family had always been pampered, with long nails on his hands and beautiful Dan Kou.What's more, she has never done this kind of massage a few times in her life, so it can't compare with Xiangling's rich experience.

Fearing that her nails would scratch her daughter, Xue didn't try to be brave, and let Xiangling come.

Xiangling also had long nails before, but since she entered Jia Yucun's house, she cut her nails off.

She used to serve Xue Pan a lot, and Xue Pan is a pleasure-loving person, so Xiang Ling has practiced kung fu, moderate strength when massaging, pushing, pressing, kneading, pinching everything, sometimes knocking a few times, plus Xue Baochai's brows and eyes curled up in comfort when he touched the acupoints.

Seeing this, Xue's eyes were sour and his nose was hot, and he quickly pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Her throat was choked, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Baochai, listen to your mother, don't work so hard, it's just a small thing, no matter how beautiful it is, it's not worth a piece of gold. The most important thing is your body. If you collapse, what will your mother do? "

Xue Baochai opened his eyes and suddenly remembered that he was carrying one in his belly, and quickly replied obediently: "Mother, don't worry, I will work and rest from tomorrow, and it will not be like today."

As a pregnant woman, one must have the self-consciousness of a pregnant woman. Besides, the posthumous child is a gold ingot. If the child does not have a good rest, the son has an accident, or the health is worrying when he is born, wouldn't it be harmful to others and himself?

Seeing that she was obedient, Mrs. Xue was relieved.

Xiangling brewed about a cup of tea, but Baochai was embarrassed to overwork her, so he pushed her hand away and asked her to wait on his wife and go down to rest.

Ying'er fetched water and helped Baochai to wash up. Seeing her daughter lying obediently on the bed, Mrs. Xue gave her several instructions before going back to the next room with Xiangling.

In the next few days, Baochai devoted herself to the nets, and Yinger was often called by Chunhua to help, so she didn't have much time. Fortunately, she only needed to weave some old styles, and it wasn't too difficult.On the contrary, Baochai's work took a lot of thought and effort to complete.

After having three nets, a purse, and a chrysanthemum buckle, Baochai felt that she could barely set up a stall.Anyway, it's good to test the waters first.

Borrowed a clean bamboo basket for fruit from Aunt Li in the kitchen, first put a layer of cotton cloth inside, and then put the nets in one by one, Yinger picked up the bamboo basket and was about to set up a stall outside the back door .

Baochai was still worried, and taught her carefully: "You have never done business, so I'm afraid you don't know the way here. If someone comes up to ask, you should greet her well, talk about their advantages, try to impress her, let People think that this is a good thing that must be bought. If no one asks, as long as someone passes by, you just yell twice, and they will come and take a look as long as they hear it. It doesn’t matter whether you want to buy it or not, we You have to greet each other with a smile, and you need to establish your reputation first, so that people know that there are network sellers here. Remember, you must have a good attitude, as long as the other party is not intentionally making trouble for no reason, we must treat customers as gods—"

Speaking of this, thinking that Yinger might not understand who God is, she hurriedly changed the word: "It's fine to treat the guest as a wife. Alright, let's go!"

Baochai smiled and looked at Yinger encouragingly.

Ying'er was already beating drums in her heart, but such a long speech frightened her to lose all her courage, and she stood still, not daring to move, wishing there would be a sudden rainstorm or her wife would come and reprimand them for misbehaving.

Seeing her like this, Baochai knew that this was a problem that every first-time stallholder would encounter—thin-skinned, unable to yell.

"Forget it, I'll go with you, just to see what the environment is like outside." Said while walking outside.

Since coming here, she hasn't been out of the yard. To put it bluntly, it's a bit like being in prison. She also wants to go out to get some air.

Ying'er panicked, and without thinking too much, she stretched out her hand to stop Baochai: "Girl, it's absolutely impossible, I can go alone."

Baochai ignored her, walked past her, and headed for the back door with a firm face. Ying'er hurriedly followed, still whispering persuasion.

"Girl, you really can't go out."

"If my wife finds out, she will definitely scold me."

"Girl, go back quickly..."

Poor little Yinger's persuasion for a long time had no effect, Xue Baochai had already opened the back door, turned her head and laughed and scolded: "You are really nagging, shut up and rest, and you will talk about it when the guests come later."

Outside the back door is a deserted alley, closely adjacent to the bustling street.It's a pity that if you don't live here, people from outside almost never come in to have a look.

Baochai was slightly disappointed, this place is not suitable for setting up a stall, the location is gone.

If possible, she would really like to go to the place with the most traffic to set up a stall to make money in person, but Xue's stage is sad.With Xue's old-fashioned concept, it is better to die than to watch her daughter show her face like this.

Even when they go out now, they don't tell her the truth - Mrs. Xue only thinks that they made a net and sold it to Aunt Liu.

"Ying'er, how many families live in this alley?"

Ying'er was a little timid, and hid behind Baochai and looked out cautiously: "I heard from Aunt Li that there are six households living on this street."

"Enough." Xue Baochai pondered for a while, "I'm not greedy, so let's grab these six potential customers first. Since they all open the back door in this alley, presumably the girls and women of those families also came from here. In and out. These people are our targets!"

At this moment, there was no one in the alley, and Ying'er gradually became more courageous, and her expression returned to normal.

She went outside and pushed Baochai into the door with her backhand: "Go in, girl, it's not good for people to see." After speaking, she squatted down, put the basket in front of her, lifted the cloth covering it, Muster up the courage to start sitting on the sidelines.

"Well." Baochai was still a little worried, and before he left, he took the trouble to tell, "The customer is our wife, so we must have a good attitude. Even if she looks through it for a long time and doesn't buy anything, we can't lose our temper. Willing to come up Take a look, it shows that she is interested in her heart. If someone comes to make trouble, don't be afraid, either come in quickly, or call me loudly, I will move a small stool later, and I will accompany you behind the door .”

The distance of a door made Ying'er courageous.

She smiled at Baochai: "Miss, let's go back to the house and rest, the sky is bright and bright, there may not be bad people, besides, I'm smart."

"I also weave nets inside the house, and I can still bask in the sun outside."
