[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Xiangling and Yinger came in with a basin of water each.

Xiangling put the basin on the shelf, asked his wife to come and wash up, and then called Baochai who was sitting at the table: "Miss, don't do it, it's troublesome at night, wash your face, and rest earlier in a while."

"Yes." Baochai put down her clothes, stood up and said with a smile, "I dare not disobey my sister-in-law."

Ying'er, who was rolling up her sleeves and preparing to wait for Baochai to wash up, stared at Xiangling as if her eyes were round when she heard this.

Xiangling was stunned.

The wife told her in private that she would raise herself as the second bedroom in the future, but she didn't publicize it, so no one else knew about it except her and his wife.

Suddenly Baochai called sister-in-law, Xiangling blushed with embarrassment, and was so moved that she was about to cry.

"The girl is playing tricks again, I'm going to get the handkerchief." After saying these words bravely, Xiangling ran out quickly with her head down.

Baochai blinked and laughed softly, "Oh, I'm so shy."

Mrs. Xue was angry and funny: "It's not because you shamed her away. You know that she is thin-skinned, but you still tease her like this." He explained to Ying'er, "When the young master comes out, I will officially carry Xiangling into the second bedroom. Baochai should call her sister-in-law."

"This is really a happy event." Ying'er was really happy for Xiangling.

When Xiangling was not there, Mrs. Xue washed her face by herself, and then said to Baochai and Yinger, "This girl Xiangling is probably too shy to go out, so I will go and persuade her. Yinger, wait for the girl to wash her face before helping her." She has tousled hair. Baochai, go to bed early after tidying up, don't stay up late." Then she went to Xiangling.

"Why did my wife come here? You blame me for being lazy and not serving your wife. I'll pour the washing water right away." Seeing Mrs. Xue coming in, Xiangling didn't care about her shame, and felt very ashamed.

"Don't worry, Ying'er is there, let's sit down and talk."

Mrs. Xue pulled her to sit down, and said with all her heart, "You know how I have treated you these past few years. At that time, Pan'er married Xia Jingui, and Xia Jingui always disliked you. I did it for the sake of family harmony. Don't blame me for meddling in the affairs of their little couple's yard."

"Madam, don't say that, I'm even embarrassed." Xiangling panicked, "I belong to the young master, so I should have been taken care of by the young mistress. Besides, at that time, the wife had to worry about a lot of things, and the young mistress' personality... It's also a bit too strong, even the girl has suffered from her. I always remember the kindness my wife and the girl have treated me, so how can there be complaints?"

Xiangling has a well-behaved personality, gentle and sensible, and has always been considerate of others.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xue sighed with relief: "Forget it, let's not mention those bad things. I just told Baochai that I would make you a second wife, and she also agreed with it, so I asked her to change it." Say it, and you should answer when she calls your sister-in-law in the future, there is nothing embarrassing about it."

Xiangling looked at Xue Shi shyly and timidly, embarrassed to answer the words, got up quickly and said that she wanted to make tea for his wife.

Mrs. Xue grabbed her: "I won't drink, you sit down. Now Baochai's injury is almost healed, we haven't visited the prison for almost half a month, and I don't know if Pan'er has suffered in it..."

"It's already autumn, I should bring two sets of autumn clothes to the young master." Ever since Xiangling followed Xue Pan, she has regarded herself as a member of the Xue family. The most important person in her heart.

"It should." Xue agreed, her eyes turned red in an instant, her voice choked up, "Although Baochai suffered a great crime this time, she is still by my side anyway, Pan'er is the most pitiful one, and we used to give money away I went in to help him do some shopping, it’s been empty for half a month, and I haven’t sent a penny in, so I don’t know how he endured hardship.”

Xiangling also felt uncomfortable, and wished she could go to jail instead of the young master.

She wiped her eyes and asked, "Madam, where do we have any money to pay the jailer now? The young master committed a murder case, and every time he visits the prison, he must first pay one tael of money to the guard."

"Yes, besides this, at least one or two more wines must be brought out to the jailers, otherwise the food we send in may be robbed by someone later, and the young master will not be able to use it for himself." Xue said sadly. full face.

She only had eight taels of silver with her, and she handed over two taels to the jailer, and took out two taels to buy cloth and cotton, and added one tael to buy some food, so there were only three taels left.

Xiangling thought of the sufferings the young master had suffered in prison, and her heart ached so badly, she suggested urgently: "It's getting colder and colder, you can't just sit and watch the young master freeze to death in prison. Girls can make some money by weaving nets." , although I am clumsy, I am willing to follow suit, and we will be able to make money when we learn."

In Xue's heart, her son is naturally the most important, otherwise she would not have spent all her family's wealth just to save him.

She didn't think too much about it: "Tomorrow, if you go to the street with silver, you should choose strong and ordinary fabrics, but the cotton should be high-quality, so that it is warm. Let's hurry up and go to see Pan'er when the clothes are ready."

Xiangling couldn't help but happily agreed.

……

Baochai was busy making clothes for Fan Jiaoxing, and even Lianzi didn't care about weaving. Xiangling bought materials from outside and went to needlework with Xue.For a while, these people were so busy that they rarely left the house.

That afternoon, someone knocked on the back door suddenly.Not long after, Cui'er came over to Baochai and said, "Sister Baochai, someone is looking for you at the back door."

"Looking for me?" Baochai had been doing needlework all day, her neck was so sore, and her body was exhausted, she got up and thumped the back of her neck, "I'll go right away."

Ying'er understood her hard work, and hurriedly said: "Miss, go to bed and rest for a while, I'll go out and have a look."

Baochai was afraid that she would fall asleep as soon as she lay down, so she shook her head: "I'll just go and have a look, you can sit down."

Ying'er thought it would be fine, so she picked up the unfinished dress: "Girl, don't come back in a hurry, just take a few steps in the yard and take a walk, I'll do a few stitches for you, it won't waste your time."

After finishing speaking, I remembered that Tweety'er was still here, and was afraid that it would be bad for Mrs. Fan to find out if she accidentally leaked her words, so she quickly smiled at Tweety'er: "Tweety'er is a good girl, please don't go outside and say that this dress was stolen I touched it."

Cui'er giggled, "I'm not stupid."

……

When Baochai came to the back door, Luliu was standing outside, so she hurriedly said hello.

Lu Liu said with a smile: "I mentioned something to the girl the day before yesterday, saying that you have a very beautiful chrysanthemum buckle here, and the girl was moved, but it is not easy for her to go out, and it is not convenient for her to have no friendship with this family." Come here. If you don't mind, I'll take the buckle back to the girl to see if she wants it. If you're worried, can you come with me?"

Baochai was overjoyed, she was worried that she missed her work in the past two days, so how could she not agree.Furthermore, with Luliu's character, there is no need to lie to her.

"What did Miss Luliu say, thanks to you mentioning it in front of your girl, otherwise this button can only be in my hands temporarily. Please wait a moment, I will go back to the house to get it."

Baochai went back to the house and took the buckle and handed it to Luliu, and smiled embarrassedly: "Don't blame me for being rude, I can't invite you in, I can't make the decision here."

Lu Liu didn't care, instead she persuaded her: "I'm also a girl, I'll understand if you don't tell me." Because she was in a hurry to go back, she asked her directly, "Do you want to come with me?"

"No, no, no." Baochai waved her hands again and again, "I can trust Miss Luliu's character, I'm afraid that such rough things won't catch your girl's eyes, and then I'll let you make this trip for nothing. Thank you very much .”

"Don't be so polite. How much do you plan to sell this plate for?"

Baochai thought about it for a while: "This is the first buckle I made, let alone the price, I am very happy if someone likes it. If your girl likes it, let her watch it and give it to her. They say girl Lord, with Miss Luliu as a person, your girl must also be of noble character."

This remark made Lu Liu also praise her, she giggled twice: "Stop praising me, I don't have time to chat with you anymore, I'm leaving first, my girl is still waiting."

When Baochai returned to the house after seeing off Luliu, Yinger hurriedly asked, "Have you sold the item?"

"Not yet." Baochai walked to the table, picked up the teacup and drank a couple of sips of water, "Her girl wants to take a look first, which is normal. Lu Liu is straightforward and kind-hearted, if she can sell her It's also thanks to her."

Ying'er squinted her eyes and smiled: "The things the girl makes are so delicate, I think her girls will like them when they see them."

"I hope so." After walking a few steps, her body was not so tired, Baochai reached out to take the clothes, "I'll come, you go and do your work."

In the evening, just after dinner, Xue Shi and Baochai couldn't rest for a while and started sewing again. Ying'er couldn't bear the excitement and longing in her heart, and kept running around in the kitchen, helping Aunt Li, for fear of missing the knock on the door. Voice.

Not long after, someone knocked on the back door, Ying'er didn't wait for Aunt Li to react, and rushed to say: "It's probably Luliu who came to look for my girl. Auntie, you are busy, I will open the door."

Aunt Li had a lot of work to do, although the house had just had dinner, she had to prepare a late night snack in addition to washing up, she heard that she didn't argue with Ying'er, and even thanked her.

Ying'er trotted and opened the door, and there were indeed green willows outside.

"Miss Luliu is here, have you eaten yet?" Yinger's attitude was very enthusiastic.

Luliu replied with a smile: "I've used it. Is your girl here?"

"Yes, please wait a moment." Ying'er nodded repeatedly, and then trotted to invite Baochai to come over.

When Baochai came, he smiled when he saw Luliu: "I'm sorry to trouble you to run again, does your girl like it?"

"I like it very much. As soon as I saw it, I ordered to cut off the original buttons on the new clothes, so that we can quickly replace them." Lu Liu took out a money bag and handed it to Baochai, "Here, here are five buckles. Two silver coins. My girl said that as long as the things are good, she will not let you suffer, and she also said that if there are new styles in the future, just send them over and have a look. "
