[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Mrs. Xue didn't know why Mrs. Fan was looking for Baochai. She was always worried and waited in her daughter's room.

After finally looking forward to Baochai's return, seeing the good material in her hand, Dang even made a mistake like Jia Yucun, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Fan is really kind enough to give you such material."

It's just second-class silk material, Xue Shi didn't pay attention to this kind of stuff in the past, but compared to what they are wearing now, it is already considered first-class.

"You think too much." Baochai put down the material, "Madame Fan asked me to make clothes for her."

Mrs. Xue paused with a smile, then laughed again after a few breaths, and said earnestly: "That's fine, we live in her house, eat and employ others, and we should help a little bit. It's just that you visited her a few days ago. I can't control you when you are weaving, you have been suffering day and night, your face has lost a lot of weight, take a rest, I will make this dress."

"Isn't there still work on my mother's hands?" Baochai originally planned to ask Xiangling or Ying'er to help, but now he thought about it, and wondered if this body could unlock the needlework skills.Anyway, give it a try.

"I'll do it myself, if I can't do it, I'll ask my mother for help." Baochai smiled embarrassedly, "This collision made my brain into a mess, I'm afraid my hands will still shake when I hold the needle. Shi Niang is watching from the side, give me more pointers."

Xue was both sad and relieved when she heard this, and quickly agreed: "I will cut the clothes. I will do a few stitches first, and you will learn from the side. If you really can't remember it, just learn it from the beginning again. You are smart. Everything is fast, and needlework is no exception. I saw the chrysanthemum buckle you made, it is really bright, and it will look even better if there are two pearls on each end."

"If mother likes it, take it. Isn't it just a new dress? Sew this buckle on."

"No need, let's keep it and sell it for money. It's not a good material, so don't waste this button."

Ying'er, who was standing by the side, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Baochai. She said with a distressed face, "The girl has lost a lot of weight. She used to have a round face. How lucky she is. Now she is so thin that it makes people feel distressed."

"Is it really thin?" Baochai held his face and felt it, feeling happy in his heart, "I feel that it is almost the same as before."

Saying you've lost weight to a girl is definitely the most popular thing to say.Of course, special cases like Fan Jiaoxing were not included.

The regular dishes from the kitchen were really not good, lacking in meat and oil. In the past, Mrs. Xue would often pay Aunt Li to cook custard. So embarrassed to ask for more, Baochai also thought that she was already well, so even this was cancelled, and she just ate ordinary meals with everyone every day.

Since both Xue and Ying'er said they had lost weight, Baochai thought to herself, maybe this is a symptom of early pregnancy.

At that time, a colleague of hers was like this in the first trimester, her appetite decreased, she could not smell oily, and she was prone to vomiting and sleepiness.

After thinking about my own situation, I found that my appetite didn’t drop, and I didn’t have morning sickness, and there was a smell of oily smoke... Once, Aunt Li stewed chicken for his wife, and Baochai smelled it very fragrant.

There is a bit of snoozing, but recently I often stay up late and often want to doze off during the day.

Comparing these piles of piles, some conform and some do not conform. Maybe each person's situation is different, so we cannot generalize.

Baochai relaxed her mind, she didn't intend to tell Xue Shi about her pregnancy right now, but wait until the first three months, so as not to surprise her.

"Don't worry, it's fine as it is now." Baochai pinched her slender waist while looking down at her bulging chest.

She couldn't help but feel flattered in her heart, as she is now, she is thin, beautiful and has big breasts, how perfect!

Back then, her breasts also had a C, but now this body goes straight to a D!I don't know whether it is born like this or the second development after pregnancy. If I can maintain this figure all the time, I am so happy.

"Nonsense." Mrs. Xue was very unhappy when she heard that, and she became even more angry when she saw her daughter's happy face. "How can you be fat? It's just right. It's better than the kind that will fall when the wind blows."

Xue's nurse was eager, but this casual remark offended two people.

One is Lin Daiyu who has passed away, and the other is Fan Jiaoxing. Both of them belong to the category of extremely thin, but Lin Daiyu is so skinny and beautiful, and she is pitiful, while Fan Jiaoxing is so thin that she is almost out of shape, with no sense of beauty at all.

Baochai was in awe of sister Lin, so she didn't answer this sentence, and turned to talk to Mrs. Xue about something else.

……

Because this dress was for Fan Jiaoxing to wear, Mrs. Xue had a lot of experience, decided on the pattern of embroidery on it, and started cutting overnight.

After cutting, Xue handed the needle to Baochai and encouraged him, "Try it first, maybe you can remember it?"

Baochai took a deep breath and pinched the needle in his hand. It felt like he had returned to the examination room of the college entrance examination. He sewed clothes with the craft of cross-stitching, just like graduating from junior high school and taking the college entrance examination. Dare to do it.

"It doesn't matter if you try it, the worst is to tear it apart." Xue pointed to the place where the needle was to be injected and continued to encourage her.

"En." Baochai breathed out slowly, and injected the needle at the position Xue pointed out.

A small embroidery needle suddenly turned into Ma Liang's magic pen. When the first needle fell, it seemed to touch a certain switch in the body.

The stitches became smoother and smoother than the last, and Baochai's posture was graceful. Baochai was in a happy mood, with a confident light in his eyes and a smile on his mouth.

Xue was very emotional, squinting her eyes and smiling: "It has been said that my daughter is the smartest, you see, where do I need to teach?"

Xiangling said happily: "Girl usually reads books in addition to embroidering. These two things do the most, so I naturally remember."

"It's a pity that there are no books for the girl to pass the time now." Ying'er was a little sad, but she jumped up again, "How about borrowing a book or two from Mrs. Fan? She is also an official's wife, so she always has a book."

Baochai listened to their chatting with a smile, and kept her hands on, enjoying the feeling of flying needles and threads very much.

She is also good at making clothes, maybe she can develop a second way to make money in the future!

Xiangling glanced outside the room first, and then whispered when no one came, "Don't ask, I heard Aunt Li said that Mrs. Fan is illiterate."

As soon as Baochai got a stitch done, she raised her head upon hearing the words: "Xiangling, I remember you used to like learning to make poems, don't you? When you have free time in the future, we will discuss and study together."

Immediately, Xiangling blushed with embarrassment, and waved her hands again and again: "I just know a few words, how can I dare to say that I can compose poetry, in the future... I don't want to learn any more in the future."

At that time, they were still living in the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion, living a prosperous and carefree life, so they had the leisure to learn these things.What's even more rare is that the wife doesn't blame her for not doing serious things, and the girl is even more supportive.

Such a good thing, not to mention that she is just a bought concubine, many rich families may not be willing to let their girls learn to read and write. They believe that women who have no talent are virtues. For example, Wang Xifeng is illiterate.

Xiangling is grateful in her heart, now that the conditions are difficult, how can she be so ignorant?

Xue gave Xiangling a deep look.

Ying'er giggled, and half covered her mouth with her hands: "In this way, Mrs. Fan is not as good as a girl like me. Anyway, I also know a lot of commonly used characters."

"Shut up, it's terrible to be heard." Mrs. Xue reprimanded softly, "You two go fetch water, wash up and rest early."

Ying'er stuck out her tongue mischievously, then turned around and went to the kitchen with Xiangling to ask for water.

The candlelight was dim, and Baochai's delicate face looked more dignified and soft under the reflection of it.

Seeing such a daughter, Mrs. Xue couldn't help feeling sad and pity.

Her daughter is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also a female celebrity and housekeeper.Such a good girl was delayed by Baoyu.

Although Baoyu did not die, he defected to the Buddha, and his daughter became a widow in disguise.

What should she do next?

She is only 19 years old, and she has no children around her. Could it be that she keeps her chastity until she is the youngest?

How to match the bastard Baoyu!

In Xue's opinion, it is absolutely correct that loyal ministers do not serve as second kings, and martyred women do not marry second husbands.But when it came to her daughter, she couldn't bear the lonely life of Baochai in her prime.

It's just that they are not as good as they were when they lived in Rongguo Mansion. Where can she introduce a good partner to her daughter?

Baochai was making clothes quietly, even though she didn't mind, she still felt uncomfortable under Xue's focused eyes.

She stopped what she was doing, tilted her head slightly and asked, "What are you looking at, mother? What are you thinking? How about we talk for a while?"

Xue came back to her senses and laughed dryly, how could she dare to speak out her true thoughts, she would not have to make her daughter sad again.

She suddenly remembered that Baochai had called Xiangling's name directly just now, so she said along the way: "It's rare that Xiangling followed us wholeheartedly and served me respectfully as usual. Obviously Master Jia said he would help her, if that She is willing to agree in a moment, and as Master Jia is a person, he will definitely give her a generous allowance, not only to get together with mother and daughter, but also to live better than suffering with us."

"Yeah." Baochai nodded in agreement, "Xiangling is honest and good-looking. My brother didn't know how many lifetime blessings he had before he met her."

"Isn't that right? I told her in private that when Pan'er comes out in the future, I'll decide to take her as the second wife. After all, the status of a concubine is not respectable. Besides, Master Jia also valued her and raised her as the second wife. Not only did it appear to Mr. Jia that we know how to behave, but I also hoped so from the bottom of my heart. Your sister-in-law Xia almost vomited to death before, she was a troublemaker, if she hadn’t made noise at home every day, your brother Can you run out and get into trouble in order to hide yourself?"

Speaking of Xue Pan's former wife Xia Jingui, Xue's voice was clearly angry.

"That's really a shrew, not to mention Pan'er, even I'm afraid of her when I see her. She has such a bad heart, and she wanted to poison Xiangling to death, but in the end she poisoned herself to death by mistake, she deserves it!"

Baochai smiled softly: "Then do as Mother said."

"I like Xiangling's temperament and personality the most. Now that Pan'er hasn't come out, we don't want to show it around. I thought, you should change the name first, and call her sister-in-law later? Wait for Pan'er to come out. , we will formally set up wine and have fun."

Where would Baochai refuse to obey, she immediately agreed: "Okay, I will call her sister-in-law when I see her later."
