[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Aunt Li, who is in charge of the kitchen, is busy preparing dinner for the evening on the stove.

Two big sticks of firewood were added to the stove to let it burn slowly. Don't worry about the stew in the pot. It will be ready when the time comes. Aunt Li washed her hands and started to clean up other dishes.

After moving to a new residence, the kitchen was also doubled in size, and there was an extra cubicle in the stove room with tables and chairs. Aunt Li could take a rest here when she was tired from cooking.

Ying'er and Cui'er sat around the small table in the cubicle. Ying'er opened the snacks she brought and greeted Aunt Li: "Ma'am, come and have a rest for a while and eat two pieces of snacks. This is what my girl specially ordered me to bring." .”

"You eat." Aunt Li smiled and narrowed her eyes, put down the things in her hands, turned around and took out a plate of melon seeds from the kitchen cabinet and put them on the table, and walked back to the stove, chatting while busy, "Speaking of you Miss, I thought she was very lucky because of her appearance. Sure enough, she has become a madam."

"Sister Baochai didn't seem to have changed much when she became a wife. She is still so kind and even gave us snacks." Cui'er grabbed a piece of snacks in one hand and ate happily.

"Stop talking nonsense, you can no longer call me sister, you have to call me madam." Aunt Li taught her daughter a lesson with a smile.

Tweety thought for a while, and asked curiously: "If we stand together with Mrs. Fan, how should we shout?"

Ying'er picked up a piece of snack and handed it to Cui'er, and answered her doubts: "You only call Mrs. Fan as your wife, and my girl is called Second Mrs., so you can tell the difference."

Tweety nodded obediently, carefully remembering it in her heart.

While they were talking, Hong Jin came in from the outside, first asked Aunt Li if dinner was ready, then smiled and pushed Yinger who was sitting: "Master is back, I am anxiously waiting for dinner, you are still playing here Woolen cloth."

"Master is back? Where's my girl?" Ying'er stood up slowly.

"The madam is talking with the master, let me come to the kitchen to remind you."

Aunt Li: "It will be ready right away. The stew is already cooked, and there are only a few stir-fried dishes left. It will be ready in less than half an hour."

"Aunt Li, I'm leaving first. Cui'er, come over to play when you have time. My girl has a good temper, so just come and don't be afraid." Ying'er dropped these words and left in a hurry.

Ying'er went back to serve her master, so Hong Jin didn't rush to leave, and helped Aunt Li organize the meals, and she happened to serve them herself in a while.

"Is the food ready?" Baochai asked quickly when she saw Ying'er coming in from the door.

"Just a few stir-fried vegetables are missing, and it's very fast." After Ying'er finished answering, she took a deep breath, walked to Jiayu Village, saluted and called the master.

Last night's bridal chamber night, Ying'er didn't understand the situation, and recklessly shouted that Jia Yucun was going to kill someone. Now thinking about it, she was still frightened, for fear that Jia Yucun would settle accounts with her.

"Hmm." Jia Yucun's expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.How could he care about a little girl, but when he saw the silver hairpin on Yinger's head, he couldn't help but freeze.

Ying'er lowered her head, waiting anxiously, looked up quietly, touched her own head subconsciously, and then realized.She didn't dare to say anything, and immediately knelt down as soon as her knees softened.

Jia Yucun frowned, didn't he say anything?Why is this girl kneeling down?

Seeing this, Baochai hurried over to help.

She first pulled Ying'er up from the ground, and then explained to Jia Yucun with a smile: "Thank you for the jewelry that the master gave you. It cost you a lot. Ying'er has been with me since she was a child, and she never complained no matter how hard or tired she was. Picking a silver hairpin to reward her, master won't blame me, will he?"

"What are you talking about?" Jia Yucun put down the teacup and looked at Baochai with a smile, "Young girl is loyal, so naturally she should be rewarded. What I give you, you can decide for yourself."

Both master and servant Baochai breathed a sigh of relief.

Baochai turned her head and told Ying'er in a low voice: "Go to the kitchen and have a look, the food is probably ready, just bring it here."

"Yes." Ying'er was grateful to Baochai for helping her out of the siege, she responded crisply, turned around and left.

After a while, the food was put on the table, and Jia Yucun sat down at the table first. Baochai recalled what Mrs. Xue told her, and Fan Jiaoxing's behavior in the past, so she didn't sit down and planned to serve the master Jia Yucun .

Alas, the status of women is really low at this time.When the meal is ready, the woman can't eat first, she has to take care of the man at home before she can sit down and eat.

Fortunately, the conditions are good now, and there is a table full of food, no matter how much Jia Yucun can eat, he will never be able to eat it all, right?

She put a piece of ham into the small bowl in front of Jia Yucun. Jia Yucun turned his head and looked at her strangely: "You haven't sat down yet, are you waiting for me to invite you?"

"Hehe." Baochai smiled, and sat down on a stool that was not too far away.

After a few breaths, Baochai was nowhere to pick up food for dinner. Jia Yucun glanced at the table. There was a stewed chicken with red dates in the middle. He directly put a chicken leg for Baochai, and said softly: "Eat quickly. Our family There are not so many rules, so you don’t have to be restrained.”

This was really good news, and Baochai was not willing to serve others like a little wife, so she hurriedly put the leftover chicken leg to Jia Yucun, blinking and said: "Reciprocity is reciprocal, and the master will eat it too."

"Hehe." Jia Yucun smiled, didn't speak any more, and concentrated on eating.

After the meal, the two of them moved to the low couch to drink tea and digest food. The maids removed the broken table, and there were still a lot of food left. After dinner, the rest will be returned to the kitchen, and Aunt Li will handle it.

Ying'er was not in a hurry to eat, she served fruit plates for the masters first, and then stood with her hands down.

Jia Yucun and Baochai sat on the couch with a kang table between them. Jia Yucun wanted to talk to her, but he didn't understand the things the girl liked, and it was not suitable to talk about things outside the house. Zuo Si Thinking right, I didn't have a good word to say.

Baochai thought the same way, and they both fell silent and drank tea separately.

After a while, Jia Yucun broke the silence and told Yinger: "You go to Shuangfu, the sixth book in the fifth row of the third bookcase, and bring it for me."

Yinger went, came back soon, and handed the book to Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun took it, held it in his hand and looked at it slowly. Baochai was curious, and glanced at the book cover, and it turned out to be "Qi Min Yao Shu".

Jia Yucun knew that Baochai could read and read many books when he was a child. He did not miss the surprise in Baochai's eyes, and asked amusedly: "Is it so strange? If you are bored, make a purse quickly, make it as soon as possible, and I will wear it on my body as soon as possible." .”

After hearing this, Ying'er's eyes lit up like two little lanterns at night, and she wished she could beg Baochai to stay up all night to weave this purse.

When the master has a purse made by the girl herself on his waist, anyone with eyes should know that his girl is favored.

"I didn't expect the master to read such books about agriculture." Baochai said with emotion.

On the one hand, I feel admiration for his powerful memory, and the rows of bookcases, as a scholar, must be full of them.Among the many books here, if you can tell exactly which book is where, isn't this considered a strong memory?

On the other hand, Baochai knew that he was just working as an aide in other people's houses, such as Jia Zheng's gentlemen, chatting with him, playing chess, drinking and having fun.

Of course, people like Jia Zheng can't represent all of them. Many staff members also have serious business, such as helping the master to analyze the situation and come up with ideas and so on.

Thinking of this, Baochai understood, nodded, and said: "It's good to read more books, even if it has nothing to do with my job. In case someone else talks about it one day, I don't know what to ask."

"You can talk." Jia Yucun was amused, "Farming is related to livelihood, livelihood is the foundation of the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. Don't underestimate farming, and don't underestimate the people at the bottom. Water can carry boats and capsize..."

Baochai showed a teachable expression at the right time and listened carefully, which made Jia Yucun's conversation more interesting.

Ying'er, who was standing beside her, was very excited. She didn't listen to the great principles of Jia Yucun, but only remembered one sentence. The master praised her girl again for being able to speak!

"...I only know a little bit. If we want to talk about real experts, we have to be people like Dasinong." Jia Yucun realized that he had said a lot of words without knowing it, and hurriedly ended the topic modestly.

"If the yield of crops can increase, and the people can eat enough, wear warm clothes, and have some spare money in their hands, who wouldn't like a peaceful and happy life?" Baochai sighed softly. At this time, there were no hybrid | hybrid rice, agricultural tools It is also relatively backward, it is real human farming, and it depends on the sky to eat.

Jia Yucun lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

What about an increase in production?The court is not clear, levies and miscellaneous taxes are fiercer than tigers, and some officials are good at making money while they are in their positions. One can imagine the life of the people.

He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, and sighed deeply in his heart.

Baochai didn't know why, so she didn't dare to disturb him casually. Ying'er was a thief, and hurriedly picked up the unfinished purse and stuffed it into Baochai's hand, desperately signaling with her eyes, telling her not to be lazy and hurry up to work.

Baochai was afraid that her winking would cause eye cramps, so she had no choice but to take it and do it slowly to pass the time.

Seeing that her daughter was finally willing to do something, Ying'er narrowed her eyes with a smile, showing a gratified smile like an aunt on her face.

Jia Yucun stood in front of the window for a long time before he turned around and returned to the couch and sat down again. His expression looked the same as usual. Seeing that Baochai was busy, he said, "Take your time, don't worry. .”

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." Baochai said, "By the way, Ying'er, go and get all the nets I've made in the past."

Yinger hurried away, and when she came back, she was holding a box. Baochai took it and handed it to Jia Yucun: "Didn't the master say that I can leave it in your silk shop and sell it? How do you set the price?"

"I don't know about this either. Let the shopkeeper go out tomorrow to inquire about the market and compare them. If these are more exquisite than others, then the price should be raised a bit. Why, are you waiting for money?"

Jia Yucun's joking tone made Baochai a little embarrassed, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and replied, "Then trouble the shopkeeper. I am bored at home, even if I only earn ten copper coins, it is better than not having one." strong."

"When you enter my house, I will be responsible for basic necessities of life." Jia Yucun looked very serious, as if swearing, "From now on, your monthly payment will be the same as that of the East Chamber, three taels of silver per month. If there are other For payment, just tell me, and I will ask the steward to pay you money."
