[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

At five o'clock the next day, Jia Yucun woke up. He didn't disturb Baochai when he got up, got out of bed lightly, took his outer robe and went outside to put it on.

Ying'er didn't sleep all night, she guarded the door loyally and honestly, when she heard the movement, she hurried outside and asked softly, "Girl, are you awake?"

Jia Yucun ignored her, and Yinger asked again, fearing that she would wake Baochai up, so Jia Yucun simply replied two words: "I'm awake."

When Yinger heard it was the master's voice, she shrank her neck in fright, ran on tiptoe to the kitchen, asked for a basin of hot water, and just as it was brought to the door, Hongjin woke up and waited outside neatly dressed.

Ying'er quickly stuffed the basin into her hand: "Bring it in, let the master wash up, and I'll go to sleep for a while."

Hong Jin nodded, said nothing, and said inwardly, "Master, the water is here."

Jia Yucun came over to open the door after putting on his clothes, but Yinger was no longer outside the house, so he sneered in his heart and ignored her.

After washing lightly, Jia Yucun went to the study.

The servant, Shuangfu, also woke up, and quickly served tea. Jia Yucun asked him to find out the gift slip he received yesterday, and hold it in his hand to read it carefully.

In addition to the gifts from Chen Youming and Qian Qing'an, the fourth prince also sent someone to send a big gift. Although he couldn't come to congratulate him in person, this gift was very generous, obviously it was carefully arranged.

Fortunately, there are two bolts of brocade satin from the south of the Yangtze River. The texture is soft, the grain is fine, and the color is pink. It is suitable for making two new clothes for Baochai.

However, Guangbaochai has it, but Fan's doesn't. I'm afraid that Fan's narrow-mindedness will flare up again. For the sake of harmony in the back house, Jia Yucun ordered Shuangfu to go to his shop to fetch a few horses of high-quality raw material when the sky is bright. .

Shuangfu accepted. Jia Yucun rubbed the ink and wrote a reply letter to the fourth prince Zhu Yu. After the ink was dry, carefully put it in an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Shuangfu: "Send it to Daguang Temple sometime, pay attention Avoid people."

Shuangfu solemnly agreed.

After dealing with these things, the sky turned white, and Jia Yucun read for a while before returning to the backyard.

Baochai fell asleep very quickly last night, and woke up early today, but no matter how early she was, she couldn't beat Jia Yucun. When she opened her eyes, there was no one beside her.

Lifted the quilt and got out of bed, first went to the clean room to change a menstrual belt, after coming out, Hongjin was already standing in the room waiting to be served.

Seeing Baochai's crumpled dress, Hongjin was slightly startled, could it be that Madam slept in this outfit last night?Although I was surprised in my heart, it didn't show on my face, and said with a smile: "Madam, wash your face first."

"Yeah." Baochai didn't want her to serve her, she washed her face and put on face oil.

There is a row of exquisite small porcelain bottles on the dressing table, which are full of the best cosmetics of this era. Baochai is a proficient in makeup, even if the conditions are simple, she can try her best to make herself look glamorous.

During her aunt, her complexion was a little pale, so she took half a soybean-sized amount of rouge and spread it evenly on her cheeks, and her complexion immediately rose several steps.

Hong Jin came over with a new red dress in her hand, looked at it and praised: "Madam looks really good today."

"It's all thanks to Rouge." Baochai left the dressing table, changed her dress again, and then asked Hongjin where Yinger had gone.

Hong Jin tidied her clothes: "Ying'er went back to bed."

"Where's my lord?"

"Master woke up and went to the front yard. It's time to come in later."

Said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived. Jia Yucun came in from the outside, wearing a crimson brocade robe and holding two pieces of material in his hands. Baochai rushed up to meet him, and said with a smile, "Master woke up so early."

Jia Yucun first put the materials on the table, then looked back at Baochai, who was dressed in a garnet-red thin jacket and long skirt, slim and graceful, with a small smile.

He smiled and asked with concern: "Didn't you just lie down, why did you get up?"

"I can't sleep late today, I have to go to say hello to the old lady, besides, my health is much better." Since I knew it was just an ordinary menstrual event, I couldn't be ashamed to sit on the confinement like a miscarriage.

Jia Yucun didn't understand women's makeup, and he just ordered the housekeeper to buy some women's things to come in. He didn't see that Baochai's rosy face was due to Rouge, but when she was really better, he nodded: "Don't be brave, After inviting Ann, I will come back and rest. Look, these few pieces of material are for you to make new clothes, let the girls make them quickly."

Baochai glanced at it, feeling very happy. Probably no woman can resist the temptation of beautiful clothes, and she doesn’t have to pay for it herself. She smiled sweetly: “Thank you, master.”

Smiling like a flower, Jia Yucun lost his mind for a moment, and when he recovered, he walked out: "Let's go, go to the main room."

Baochai hurriedly followed, and Yinger, who only went back to her room and squinted for a while, took the things she had prepared a long time ago, and followed Baochai in small steps.

All the way to the main room, the room was full of people. Mrs. Song was sitting at the top, and she was pulling Mrs. Xue to sit beside her. Fan Jiaoxing was sitting on the first chair at the bottom. She was haggard as if she had aged ten years overnight, and Aunt Liu and Aunt Qiu stood behind her.

Yuhuan put two kneeling mats on the ground, Jia Yucun knelt down first, Baochai followed suit, knelt down on the other kneeling mat, bowed up three times, and then offered tea, Mrs. Song and Xue Shi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Due to the rush of time, Mrs. Xue did not have time to prepare the needlework for her daughter's meeting with her in-laws, so there were a lot of woven nets left, so she picked out a few as a meeting gift.

The best one was naturally given to the mother-in-law, and Mrs. Song took it, praising Baochai for her skill.

Followed by Fan Jiaoxing, Baochai saluted her equally.In front of Jia Yucun, Fan Jiaoxing forcefully forced a smile, took the lanyard from Baochai, and praised Baochai for looking good.

Baochai went back to her seat and sat down. Two aunts came and kowtowed to her. Baochai rewarded them with a net made by Yinger without saying a word.

Mrs. Song felt sorry for Baochai's frail body, and was afraid that her back would ache after sitting for a long time. After all, she still expected Baochai to give birth to her a white and fat grandson, so she hurriedly ordered the girl to prepare meals.

A big round table sat the old lady, Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Jia Yucun, Mrs. Fan and Baochai.Before sitting down, Baochai still looked at Mrs. Xue, and before Mrs. Xue could respond, Mrs. Song smiled: "We are all a family, sit down and eat quickly."

Xue smiled and said to the old lady: "The old lady is really kind." Then she looked at Baochai, "The old lady is kind, so please sit down and be filial to her in the future."

"Yes." Baochai knew what kind of daughter-in-law the old man liked, so she put on a low-browed and pleasing look, and sat down cautiously after agreeing.

After dinner, Mrs. Song didn't want Baochai to stay with her, so she sent her back to lie down. Mrs. Xue bid farewell to the old lady and led Baochai out, but Mrs. Fan stayed and talked with the old lady to digest food, while Jia Yucun went to the front yard to handle errands.

As soon as she stepped into the west chamber, Xue asked in a low voice, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just too much."

"Grandpa... did he lose his temper with you later?"

Xue asked cautiously, but Baochai was too embarrassed to answer, so she hurriedly excused herself to change clothes, and went into the inner room to change the menstrual belt.

After coming out, Mrs. Xue still didn't give up, first pressed Baochai to lie down on the bed, and questioned her again.

Baochai saw her mother's expression of not giving up until the Yellow River, so she could only reply, "Mother, don't worry, we are fine. Look at the two new horses on the table outside, which he brought in this morning. Tell me to make clothes for me."

"That's good." Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief, then went out to look at the material, and when she came in, her face was full of joy, "This material is really good, I will work with Xiangling later, and I guarantee that you will be able to do it soon." put on."

"I don't want that much, mother will take one."

"Where can I wear such a pattern without being laughed at?"

"Then give one to sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law has it. I heard that my uncle opened a silk shop outside. Yesterday the housekeeper sent a case, and there was enough clothing material inside. He gave it to you, and you keep it yourself. If he sees you later Sister-in-law, what is this called?"

Baochai nodded, and then said no more.

Xue turned her head and discussed with Baochai when to visit Xue Pan. The younger sister's marriage is a big event. Although he can't come out, he must tell him about the happy event.

Baochai knew that Mrs. Xue missed her son, and the one-day trip to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last time allowed her to see the horrors of the prison. She felt a little pity for that stupid overlord, so she didn't object, and she just let Mrs. Xue decide for herself. .

In the east chamber, the butler Gao Geng went to see Fan Jiaoxing with two horses.

Fan Jiaoxing put on the airs of his wife, and was not very enthusiastic about the newly bought butler. When Gao Geng said that he was here to deliver the materials on the master's order, Fan Jiaoxing had a smile on his face.

"Master is usually so busy, why is he still thinking about me, why am I lacking clothes?" Although the words were spoken politely and modestly, there was a strong sense of complacency.

Gao Geng lowered his head, bowed and said: "The material has been delivered, the younger one will leave first."

"Go quickly, don't miss the master's business." Fan Jiaoxing waved his hand and let him go.

After Gao Geng left, Fan Jiaoxing looked at the two pieces of material again and again, touched and touched them, her heart was full of joy, she thought for a moment so what if Baochai came in, didn't she still fail to have sex with the master last night?

The more I thought about it, the happier I suddenly sighed again, menstruation will always go away, Baochai will always have sex with the old man, if she doesn't get pregnant all the time, it's fine, just in case...

Thinking of it this way, even the good materials seemed to have lost their color, and could no longer arouse her interest.Fan Jiaoxing felt pain in her heart, walked to the low couch and lay down sullenly.

Qiuyue came over and kindly advised her: "Ma'am, I just had breakfast. Lying down is not good for your health. Why don't you get up and take a walk, even standing in the room is good."

Fan Jiaoxing let out a breath of turbid air slowly, still did not move, scolded with a straight face: "I don't feel well, what's the matter if I lie down? Why are you so talkative? Is my medicine ready?"

I was kind, but my wife not only didn't appreciate it, but even reprimanded me, Qiuyue stopped talking immediately, and turned to guard the medicine furnace.
