[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Jia Yucun stood at the door of the house, just knocked twice, Shuangfu trotted over to open the door.

As soon as he saw the master, he stood outside, and Shuang Fu's expression was both surprised and happy: "The master is definitely back."

Shuangfu was still terrified, this was the first time the master had left the servant to spend the night alone.It's okay if nothing happens, but if anything happens, these little servants won't have to live.

Shuangfu turned sideways and asked the master to come in, only to find that he was still carrying a big cloth package, Shuangfu hurriedly took it over, holding it heavy, and didn't know what was inside.

Jia Yucun went back to the study first, and ordered water to wash his face. Shuangshou, who was about to enter the house to serve, heard this and hurried there. Shuangfu put the package on the table, couldn't help being curious, and asked a lot: "Master , What is it wearing here? The master didn’t come home last night, the madam was anxious, and even sent servants to search around the Chen residence, but they couldn’t find anyone.” After finishing speaking, he quickly served tea.

Jia Yucun didn't explain, he just changed into a homely robe and began to unpack the package, only to find a stack of banknotes, several boxes of precious medicinal materials, and snack cloths inside.

He couldn't help but smile.

It's not that he is conceited, he is no worse than anyone else in terms of real talent and learning, but at the beginning he suffered from the lack of family support behind him, so he had no choice but to take refuge in Rongguo Mansion.

The eldest prince Zhu You is brutal and vicious, and has no one in his eyes. The second prince Zhu Rong is hypocritical. In his previous life, he was unlucky with the Rongguo Mansion. When he was imprisoned, Zhu Rong seemed to have forgotten him. Also no.

In comparison, Zhu Yu, the fourth prince, is a virtuous and virtuous corporal, treats people generously, and is extremely wise after taking the position. How can people not be willing to follow him?It's a pity that his health is not good, and heaven is jealous of Yingcai. It would be great if Dr. Xu could cure him.

Shuangfu came over with tea, and couldn't help being slightly surprised when he saw this pile of things, especially when the master closed the box just now, he seemed to see a stack of white bank notes inside?

Shuangfu knows that there are some things that he can talk about, but there are some things that he can only pretend to be dumb.He is happy to see that his master has enough money, which also means that their servants will have a much easier life.

Jia Yucun put away the box himself, and asked Shuangfu to put away the other things, and then washed up. While sitting and drinking tea, he was thinking about when he would pay a visit to Qian Yuanwailang's mansion, and Shuangshou sent him an invitation card. stick.

The post was sent by Qian Qing'an, inviting him to have a family gathering today, it's still early, and it's scheduled for the afternoon.

Jia Yucun took a pen and wrote a reply post, and asked Shuangshou to hand it over to the servant of Qian's mansion to take him back. Then he went to the main room to greet his mother, and went straight back to the east wing room after he came out.

Fan Jiaoxing had just finished washing and hadn't had breakfast yet. She was very happy to see the master come in: "The master is back. I didn't come back last night. I was always worried and didn't go to sleep until midnight."

"I have something to do outside." Jia Yucun sat down on the chair, "I was negligent, and I forgot to send someone home to let me know."

"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. It's just that the master should take his servants with him when he goes out. With them serving you, I don't worry about it."

Chunhua made tea, Fan Jiaoxing quickly took it, and handed it to Jia Yucun respectfully, Chunhua turned around and brought another plate of snacks, and placed it in front of Jia Yucun with her own hands.

Chunhua wanted to show off her new dress, but she didn't take it off today, and she couldn't hide her pride in her eyes.

Because Chunhua was always circling in front of Jia Yucun, Jia Yucun couldn't help but glance at her, then looked at Qiuyue who was standing obediently with her head down, put down the teacup, and asked Fan Jiaoxing directly: "Chunhua is a girl who is not old enough." Now, what are your plans?"

Qiuyue, who had kept her head down, heard this, raised her head and glanced at everyone quickly, then lowered her head again.

Chunhua thought her luck had come.

After all, the master has only two concubines, both of whom were handpicked by his wife.The master is in the prime of life, handsome, and has no children. What if she is lucky?After giving birth to a son in one fell swoop, wouldn't he be able to sit on an equal footing with his wife?

The more Chunhua thought about it, the happier she became, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

Fan Jiaoxing glanced at Chunhua, her eyes ached from her shy look.However, she recovered in an instant.

This is the norm. Who doesn't have a wife and a concubine?Therefore, harmony between wives and concubines is a virtue, and being a good wife is a virtue that women must learn from childhood.

Compared with many people outside, my master is already considered very good.The existing two concubines were all single-handedly selected by the two wives. If they didn't mention it, the master wouldn't ask at all.

Thinking about it this way, Fan Jiaoxing also showed a smile, it was rare for the master to take the initiative to ask, probably because he likes Chunhua?As a generous wife, she is obliged to help the master achieve his wish.

"Master, do you want..." Fan Jiaoxing asked softly, without any embarrassment or grievance on her face.

Although Chunhua blushed with embarrassment, her feet seemed to have taken root, and she refused to run out ashamedly like others. On the contrary, she secretly looked at Fan Jiaoxing's face. Seeing her like this, Chunhua felt even happier. If Madam doesn't stop it, then the matter is almost done.

She seemed to hear the voice of the lady calling her sister, and the maids calling their aunt.

"She has served our family for several years, so she should have been married." Jia Yucun said lightly, "It's just that the two servants around me are not yet old enough to marry, so it's better to send her out so that we don't have to marry her." It was delayed by us. You pick a good house for her, and add another ten taels to her."

In the current market, more than ten taels can buy back a big girl, and adding makeup for ten taels of silver is considered very generous.

"Master!" As if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, Chunhua woke up from a sweet dream, her eyes immediately turned red, and her face was full of disbelief.

She tried to struggle again, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Master, I don't want to go out, and I don't want to be married..."

Jia Yucun ignored him and drank his tea with his head down.

Fan Jiaoxing didn't expect the master to make such a fuss, so she didn't want to accept Chunhua, but to send her away.She was a little unhappy, there were only these two girls left, and if Chunhua was sent away, who would serve her?

Fan Jiaoxing was both happy and worried, after all, she was her favorite girl, and she also helped to intercede: "It's fine if this girl doesn't want to go out, and it doesn't take much to raise another girl, besides, there are many things in this house... ..."

"There are only two maids around the old lady." Jia Yucun interrupted her unfinished sentence, raised her head, and looked at her fixedly, "You don't feel wronged if you insist on one."

In terms of filial piety, Fan Jiaoxing really shouldn't surpass the old lady.However, she is not the only one in this room, there is also the master!With only Qiuyue alone, things can't be done.

Do you want her to do these trivial things in person?

Fan Jiaoxing can follow Jia Yucun in everything, but she is a bit stubborn about this one.She was most afraid of others knowing that she had been a girl in the past, so she would not lower her status and clean up by herself.

She would rather the master accept another ten or eight concubines than her own life return to the way it was before.

Jia Yucun sighed inwardly.

He is not an idiot, and he has a clear understanding of Madam's caution.He never disliked her for anything, but she often couldn't think about it.

She didn't understand that it was useless to escape, the more she covered up, the more suspicious others became.Why not face your past frankly?He never cared about her previous identity, why did she still insist on caring what other people think about this matter?

"Chunhua is spoiled and spoiled, she has been wronged by being a girl, so let her go." In order to reassure Fan Jiaoxing, Jia Yucun had to say a few more words, "I have made up my mind not to go back to the country. I will change it in the future." In the new courtyard, I will add a few little girls to come in."

"..." Fan Jiaoxing was really surprised this time.

If the master doesn't go back to the country, she doesn't have to go back to be a country woman.Compared to staying in the bustling capital and continuing to live, let alone one spring flower, she would be willing to have ten.

At that moment, Fan Jiaoxing pulled Chunhua up, wiped her tears gently, and persuaded her: "Master is right, you are getting old, staying here will delay your life. Don't worry, We are master and servant, I will help you choose a good family, and I don’t want you even if you sell yourself, is that okay?"

Chunhua sniffed and lowered her head in thought.

Since the master doesn't like me, staying here is just a waste of time.When you get older, it's really hard to find a good partner.

So, she accepted her fate, nodded and said, "Thank you, Master and Madam."

Fan Jiaoxing sighed, turned her head and told Qiuyue to help Chunhua pack her things, and then asked the matchmaker to come in, and promised to give Chunhua a pair of silver bracelets.

Jia Yucun was impatient to listen to the trivial matters between these women, so he stood up: "I'm going to talk to the old lady for a while."

"Master, wait for me, I haven't greeted the old lady yet." Upon hearing this, Fan Jiaoxing quickly left Chunhua behind and trotted behind Jia Yucun.

Mrs. Song was about to set up breakfast in her room, when she saw her son and daughter-in-law coming together, she hurriedly asked the girl to add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Fan Jiaoxing stood and served a few dishes with chopsticks, then sat down and ate quietly.

Jia Yucun had already had breakfast and was not very hungry, but sat at the dinner table only to accompany the old lady.Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks very much, the old lady didn't try to persuade him after asking about the situation.

"Mother, I've already planned to stay in the capital. Someone introduced me to work as an aide in Qian Yuanwailang's residence. This yard is a bit small. I'll be wronged for a few days, and we'll move when we find a suitable one."

Mrs. Song smiled all over: "You are the pillar of the family, you can decide these things. Whether you go back to the countryside or stay here, I have no objection."

Jia Yucun nodded and said with a smile: "Xiangling's father was kind to me back then. If it weren't for him, how could I have successfully entered Beijing to catch the exam. She is now a member of Xue's family. To be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness. Don't look down on them, if you can talk, you can ask Mrs. Xue to talk with you more."

"I understand this truth, and I didn't treat them as they are now." After the old lady Song finished speaking, she glanced at Fan Jiaoxing cryptically.
