[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Baochai suddenly remembered that there were still ten taels of silver in the things the steward gave, and quickly asked Jia Yucun, "Since the monthly money is only three taels, why did the housekeeper give you ten taels all at once?"

"You are different from Fan. You have too many things to buy. I was afraid that you would not get your hands together for a while, and you would be too embarrassed to tell me, so I asked the housekeeper to send in the ten taels first. Is it enough? If not, I will ask the housekeeper to deliver it tomorrow." Bring some silver."

When the Xue family first came to Jia Yucun's house, there were four women in a group, all of them empty-handed.In this marriage, Baochai didn't have any dowry.

This can't be blamed on Xue Shi, she has more than enough heart but not enough energy.It's just that Baochai's face is always shameless when it is said. Even if she is a married woman from a peasant household, she must prepare two beds for her happy quilt, right?

Jia Yucun was concerned about Baochai's self-esteem, and spoke very reservedly. Baochai understood it and didn't feel embarrassed.Her condition is here, who doesn't know?

So, she smiled, with a frank face: "Thank you, master, for thinking about me, the monthly money is already enough, and there is no need to add more."

Jia Yucun nodded slightly, and said no more, only thinking in his heart that the shopkeeper would try to sell Baochai's things well, so that she could earn more money.

The women in the back house are just like men. Whoever has money in their hands will have more confidence. Jia Yucun understands this truth. It is only right and proper to raise his own women. Women are fed and clothed, and they spend their free time. Little things, as long as they are not out of the ordinary, he is understandable.

Jia Yucun put down the teacup: "It's late at night, should you rest?"

When he said this suddenly, Baochai was stunned, and then he thought that he still had his aunt, which was simply the best defense.

So, she put down the purse in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's time to rest. Yinger, fetch water for the master to wash."

Yinger went out and called Hongjin, and the two fetched water. Yinger took the initiative to go to Baochai and wanted to wait for her to take a bath. Hongjin had no choice but to serve Jia Yucun.

After taking a bath, the girls tidied up the bathroom, hugged the dirty clothes that the masters had changed, turned off the lights, went out and closed the door.

Hong Jin stood at the door and said to Ying'er: "You were on duty last night, I'll come tonight, you go and rest."

Ying'er giggled: "It was different last night. My daughter doesn't like maids keeping watch at night, so we'll go back to rest and sleep more alertly, just in case the masters call us."

Hong Jin was hesitant and refused to move. Ying'er reached out and pulled her: "Let's go, can I still lie to you?"

There are five rooms in this row in the west wing, Baochai lived in two, one was taken out as a storehouse, and there were two vacant rooms, one of which was occupied by Yinger and Hongjin.

They were not far away, as long as the masters yelled loudly, they could hear them, so Hong Jin followed Ying'er in peace.

Jia Yucun and Baochai lay on the bed, as usual, each with a quilt, as if the well water does not interfere with the river water.

Baochai is trying to be self-sufficient without Yinger helping her to wrap the quilt on the other end of her feet. First, she lifts her feet high, and then finds the right angle to put her feet down when the quilt is erected. Then she can wrap her feet smoothly. It becomes a cocoon, and the end of the foot can be airtight.

As soon as she raised her feet, Jia Yucun suddenly moved her legs. I don't know if it was too much force or what, his big feet directly crossed the Chu River Han boundary, and ran towards the ground of Baochai.

When her feet touched, Baochai flinched in fright, and quickly moved in, but she couldn't wrap her feet, but she couldn't care less.

"Why are your feet so cold?" Jia Yucun's voice sounded very calm, "I thought to burn the kang in half a month, but you are so weak, tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to find a good day to burn the kang in advance stand up."

"..." Baochai's face darkened, you, a 30-year-old man, have the nerve to laugh at my 19-year-old young girl's weakness?This is a side effect of my aunt, you know!

"Thank you." Baochai tucked her head into the quilt and replied sullenly.It's not my family's firewood to make the kang, so it's up to you.

"No thanks." In the dark night, Jia Yucun's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the upward curve of the corners of his lips did not fall for a long time.

The next day, Jia Yucun took Baochai to the main room to have breakfast with Mrs. Song, and then went out to do some business.

The aunt's food was getting less and less, and the soreness in her stomach had long since disappeared, so Baochai went to sit in Xue's house, talked with Xiangling for a while, and then returned to the west chamber.

As soon as she entered the room, Ying'er was still out of breath, and Ying'er handed over the purse like holding a baby, and urged her eagerly: "Girl, you have rested for a while, it's time to start."

Baochai glanced at her sideways, and said coolly: "You are active, why don't you do it for me?"

"Hehe." Ying'er smirked, "It would be great if I knew it. Besides, this is for the master, so it's only because you do it yourself that it looks affectionate."

Jia Yucun took away Baochai's box by hand last night, thinking that he should have gone to the shop to order the shopkeeper, Baochai was in a good mood and became willing.

Reaching out to take the purse, Baochai smiled and said, "This is to thank him for finding a market for me."

"What's the big road? After coaxing the master, he will invite you to eat roasted deer in winter!"

"What a mess, go make a pot of hot tea, and then you can go out and play." Baochai waved her hand and sent Ying'er out disgusted.

Ying'er stuck out her tongue and made a pot of red date tea, thinking that she would not be serving here for the time being, so she went to the kitchen to chat with Cui'er.

As soon as Ying'er came, Cui'er pulled her into the cubicle and sat down to talk, put a plate of melon seeds and two plates of dim sum, and said with a smile: "The dim sum here is rough, not as good as those in the West Wing. Dislike it, at least try a piece.”

Aunt Li can only make homemade dim sum, such as fat cakes, carrot cakes, mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, etc. If you want to eat more delicate ones, you need to go to dim sum shops to buy them.

In the same pot of dim sum, there are always some bad or flawed ones, which cannot be presented to the master, but can only be left to be digested by oneself. Even if she is as stingy as Fan Jiaoxing, she will not say anything about this situation.

"What are you talking about?" Ying'er picked up a piece of radish cake that was missing a corner and put it into her mouth, swallowed it and said with a smile, "This is already very good, I am also a person who has suffered, and I am not picky about it."

Mrs. Li came in with a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and said embarrassedly: "Ms. Ying'er will see a joke, this snack is clean, when I fried it, I didn't turn it over properly, so a piece fell off." , Drink some chrysanthemum tea to defeat the fire."

Aunt Li bought sun-dried wild chrysanthemums, which can buy several catties for half a dollar.

Ying'er drank two cups in a row, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you for the chrysanthemum tea, auntie, it tastes good."

Seeing that she liked it, Mrs. Li was also happy, and hurriedly said: "I have more in there, I will send you a pack later."

Ying'er knew that these things were not expensive, and they were everywhere on the roadside, so she was not polite and thanked Aunt Li for her kindness.

Aunt Li went out to work on the stove, leaving Cui'er to talk with Ying'er, Ying'er was all smiles, as long as the master praised her daughter for being able to talk, she couldn't stop smiling.

Cui'er felt strange, so she asked her: "Sister Ying'er, what are you laughing at? Did Madam reward you again?"

Ying'er stretched out her hand to support the shiny silver hairpin on her head, and said with a smile, "It's not this one."

Cui'er didn't ask further, she was more curious about how Baochai and the master got along than this.In Cui'er's heart, Jia Yucun is their sky, and apart from looking up, they only have awe.

She didn't dare to think about how Fan Jiaoxing got along with Jia Yucun at all, because Baochai got closer to her before, so Cui'er was more courageous and dared to ask Ying'er.

Ying'er pursed her lips into a smile, and replied with a full face, "It's all right, the master praised twice that my girl can talk."

Cui'er couldn't help but click her tongue and sigh: "Sister Baochai is really amazing. If it were me, I wouldn't even dare to breathe in front of the master."

The two were talking in the cubicle, it might as well be that Fan Jiaoxing suddenly came to the kitchen in person.

Fan Jiaoxing's positioning for herself is very clear, and she takes a virtuous route, wishing everyone would praise her for being virtuous and magnanimous.After Baochai got married, she felt the crisis and wanted to express herself more and more urgently, so she came to the kitchen to check the noon dishes in person regardless of the oily smoke.

Even if the master doesn't come back for lunch, as long as he takes good care of the old lady and let the old lady know that this is his filial piety, it will be worth it.

She was thin and light, and she walked like a cat. Not to mention that Ying'er and Cui'er in the cubicle didn't hear her, even Aunt Li who was bending over to clean up the pig's trotters didn't notice her.

Fan Jiaoxing came here full of enthusiasm, but she didn't expect to hear Yinger's words, and she remembered that the master always treats her with respect when getting along with her, and rarely talks, so she became angry.

She knew that compared with Baochai, she had both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage was that Baochai could read and read many books.

The advantage is that although she was born as a girl, she is innocent and clean. Before she joined the master, she had never even met a few outsiders. Unlike Baochai, she was a remarried woman.

So what if the master likes Baochai again?Just because of her remarriage, don't even try to straighten up in front of her!

Fan Jiaoxing's face was alternately sad, joyful, resentful, and filled with hatred. This distorted and ferocious face frightened Aunt Li who had just turned her head.

Fortunately, Aunt Li was still able to hold her own. She quickly stood up and saluted, and asked softly, "Why is Madam here? Do you have any orders?"

Fan Jiaoxing squinted at her, then glanced at the freshly cleaned legs and hooves in the basin, with a cold expression: "Do it well." Then she turned and left.

She originally planned to ask a few more questions, such as where did you buy the pair of pig's trotters, whether the front hooves or the back hoofs, what kind of dishes are served with what effect, so that she can tell the master or the old lady when the meal is ready. Do your best.

At this moment, her heart is cold, even the breath she exhales is cold, why do she care about this pair of pig's trotters?

The author has something to say: Trotter: What did I do wrong?
