[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Baochai's hand trembled slightly as he took the money bag.

Never expected that a buckle can be sold for five taels.After thinking about it, the Li family has two prosperous shops and is rich and powerful, so the girls they raise are naturally very generous.

Thinking of this, she felt at ease. She opened the purse, took out a piece of broken silver that weighed half a tael, handed it to Lu Liu, and said very sincerely: "This is what I invited Miss Lu Liu to have tea with. If there is no You, our master and servant don't know where to catch the blind."

Lv Liu smiled, and pushed the silver back with her backhand, and then shook the brand new silver bracelet with flower branches on her wrist: "My girl praised me for shopping, so she specially rewarded me with this bracelet. With my girl's Thank you, I don't care for yours. Take it back quickly, if you have a new style, you must remember to send it to my girl to have a look."

The silver bracelet was so bright that it dazzled people's eyes, Baochai promised repeatedly, while quietly looking away.She knew that Luliu was not the kind of person who liked to play fake politeness, so she didn't force it, after all, it's not very good-looking to chat in the street.

"Can you make other styles of purses? My girl saw the one I bought last time, and she also liked it, but it's not easy for a girl like me to use the exact same one. It would be great if there were more delicate ones. The price is negotiable." .”

"I don't have any in hand for the time being. I've been busy making clothes for my wife these two days." Baochai felt very sorry, lowered her head and thought for a while, "I'll draw the pattern I know how to make with paper later, and then send it to your house , if your girl has something she likes, I'll make that one first, how about this?"

"That's good, you have to hurry up, or my girl will come to urge me every day."

Baochai responded with a smile, and the two said a few more words before Luliu left.

After returning to the house, Baochai put the money bag on the table, which was heavy, and the silver pieces collided with the wooden tabletop to make a delightful crisp sound.

Yinger's face was full of pride, Xiangling's eyes widened, and even Xue Shi was taken aback, and his expression became visibly excited.

"My daughter is really capable." Xue said it twice before slowly calming down.

Baochai raised her face slightly, revealing a faint and arrogant expression.

A small face is as white and smooth as a shelled egg, without any impurities. Although there is no rouge and gouache, there is an additional beauty of hibiscus coming out of clear water, which is soul-stirring.

She smiled slightly and pretended to be reserved and said: "Lu Liu said that her girl wants another purse, but I don't have any in stock now. I can make several patterns, but it's a pity that I can't make them one by one. I Thinking, Ying’er might as well go out and buy some paper and pens, and I’ll make them into a picture book. As long as you give the picture book to the customers, I’ll do whatever they like. Tell me, is this good?”

Xue strongly agreed, and Yinger was so excited that she was about to go out to buy paper and pens, Xiangling grabbed her and said jokingly: "You don't want to see what time it is, it's almost dark, let's talk about it tomorrow. "

The next day, Yinger bought paper and pens, and Baochai thought about it for a while, and then carefully drew on the paper to make a picture book.Ying'er cherished the album and sent it to Li's residence, and when she came back soon, she was all smiles.

"The second girl from the Li family is really generous and forthright. She picked out several items at once, a purse, and a few multicolored union silk sash hanging around her waist, and she even gave a deposit of five taels of silver!"

"Is there still a deposit?" Baochai stretched out her hand to take the silver from Yinger, and happily put it into the money bag.Touching the money bag that was gradually bulging, she felt that she was full of energy!

"When I finish this dress of Mrs. Fan, I will start work immediately, and I will never keep the guests waiting!" Baochai said excitedly.

……

Hurry up, the dress for Fan Jiaoxing is finally finished.

Baochai asked Ying'er to inquire first, and when she learned that Jia Yucun was not in the East Chamber at the moment, she took her dress and went to look for Fan Jiaoxing.

"Ma'am, the clothes are ready, take a look and I'll change them if they don't suit me." Baochai said with a smile on his face, and his voice was soft.

"You don't have to look, what you did is definitely excellent." Fan Jiaoxing didn't even look at it, she just ordered Chunhua to pick it up, and then invited Baochai to sit down for tea and snacks.

Baochai thanked her first, then sat down in a proper manner, turning a blind eye to the good tea and snacks in front of her.

Fan Jiaoxing said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your help, otherwise I don't know when it will be my turn to do these jobs."

"Madam is too polite. If you need me in the future, just tell me." Baochai replied politely.

Fan Jiaoxing climbed up the pole, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed coquettishly, the laughter was long and endless: "If you don't tell me, I'm looking for you too. Everyone praises your dexterity, and I like it too." It's a delicate thing."

What else can Baochai say besides hehe?

Probably because she was thirsty from laughing, Fan Jiaoxing lowered her head and drank two sips of tea, then raised her eyelids to look at Baochai, and asked her slowly: "I am older than you, and I probably can say some things. What is your plan?" ? I have heard about the Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion, he has left you now, in my opinion, you don't have to guard him, what do you think?"

That was quite rude.Regardless of whether Baochai is willing or not, Mrs. Xue is still alive, even if Fan Jiaoxing has good intentions, she should not bypass her.

Baochai kept a smile on her face, and answered her in her heart: I don't care about him, do I really think I am some kind of treasure?

Fan Jiaoxing looked at Baochai stubbornly, as if she must wait for her answer.

Baochai had no choice but to put on a shy look, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice: "This... I... I, I..."

"Hehe." Fan Jiaoxing's eyes filled with fervent encouragement, "Don't think I'm talkative, don't marry yourself again while you're in your prime, and when you get older in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to find a good one."

Baochai was embarrassed for a while, feeling a little tired of such conversations.

Sure enough, regardless of ancient or modern times, blindly urging marriage is a very annoying behavior.

Others don't know, but she herself is very clear that she has a child in her stomach, and she can't do such a worthless thing as making people want to be a father.

Fan Jiaoxing waited for a long time but couldn't answer, and the other party didn't even raise her head, which obviously meant resistance.

She swallowed a breath, forced a smile and continued to persuade: "Although my master is no longer an official, I know some wealthy wives anyway. You were also a merchant before, and you can be regarded as a good family if you find a family businessman. Although you have already married Once, after all, the appearance is not bad, find someone whose wife died before, it doesn't matter if he has children, he just happens to take care of you in the future..."

"Ma'am, it's time for me to go back." Baochai heard her words getting more and more outrageous, so she stood up and interrupted her without regard for etiquette.

Fan Jiaoxing was stunned, scolding her for being unkind, and said indifferently: "Thank you for making the clothes for me, can I have two snacks?"

"No need, thank you Madam for your hospitality, I'll go back first." After saluting, Baochai left.

Baochai went back to her room, and while she was arranging the thread, she began to think about it in her heart.

Madam Fan, what does this mean?

Don't like to see their family eating and drinking here for nothing?If you want to marry yourself as soon as possible, you can dump the whole family to the new son-in-law?

Baochai knew that Jia Yucun would return to the countryside soon, and promised to leave this courtyard for them to live in.It's only been ten days, Madam Fan can't stand it anymore?

If she had enough money in her hand, she really wanted to buy a yard and move out by herself, so that she wouldn't have to look at other people's opinions.However, when I think of the dozen taels in my hand, not to mention buying a yard, even the deed of sale is far away!

When Baochai thought about it more and more, she became more and more worried. When she was sighing, Xue came in and asked her strangely: "I heard from Ying'er that you sent clothes to Mrs. Fan. They are all in good condition. Why do you look like you have been beaten by Shuang?" Appearance? Madam Fan is not satisfied?"

"No." Baochai shook her head, got up and asked Mrs. Xue to sit down, and then sat down herself, "Mother, living in someone else's house is not a long-term solution, why don't we move out and rent a house?"

Mrs. Xue asked softly, "Why did you bring this up suddenly? Did Mrs. Fan say something nasty?"

Baochai lowered her eyes and fixedly looked at the table: "She advised me to get married quickly, and she probably disliked us here for eating and drinking."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue felt ashamed and angry. She took a few quick breaths before she recovered. With red eyes, she said, "Master Jia let us live here. Master Jia is the head of this house. Please ignore her."

"It's always uncomfortable to live in someone else's house. Mom, don't worry about the money. I can make money now. I can afford rent and living."

"Mother is afraid that you will work too hard. Besides, we four women are easy to cause gossip when we live outside. There is no male in the family, unless we buy two young men to help look after the house."

Xue's heart does not want to move out.

The son is still in prison, and maybe one day he will encounter a rare amnesty. If the money is not saved in advance, even the son will not be able to redeem it.

What's more, living here is more or less close to Jia Yucun.If there is sadness, there is also a place to ask for help.Even if he was going back to the countryside soon, with his personality, he would entrust them to others to take care of them before he left.

These are connections and connections, which Xue Shi lacks the most right now.

"Hey, listen to your mother," Mrs. Xue persuaded her earnestly, "Moving out is not as easy as you imagined. Mrs. Fan will be leaving soon, so you have to bear with her for a few more days. You can earn a little money." It’s not easy, save as much as you can.”

Alas, Baochai sighed, it's true that there are old people on the top and young people on the bottom, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to save more money.

She thought for a while and said, "Then I won't move for the time being. When they go back to the countryside, they need to have more money around them. Why don't you pay their rent and food expenses? It's a kindness."

"I don't think it's appropriate." Mrs. Xue thought about it carefully, "You give Mr. Jia a few taels of silver. Isn't that a slap in the face? I can tell that Mr. Jia is open-minded and straightforward. He must not like it." Such."

Baochai smiled helplessly, and the depression in her heart slowly dissipated: "I know, since I don't charge money, I have to do more."
