[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

The person Xue said should not be missed, naturally refers to Jia Baoyu.

She was really worrying too much, Baochai was not her original body, she had never even seen Jia Baoyu's face, so why was she so worried?Because the central idea in Xue's words is obvious, if she wants to live a good life with Jia Yucun, it is best to give birth to a boy and a half girl as soon as possible, Baochai has no way to agree to her, so she can only keep silent.

Xiangling carefully glanced at Baochai, then at Xue Shi, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, helped Xue Shi refill the wine, and changed the subject with a smile: "When the young master comes out, the wife will have more happy days in the future." Woolen cloth."

"I'm not looking forward to anything else now, I just want to hug my grandchildren sooner, Pan'er, he..." At this point, Xue paused, "If you don't have grandchildren, it would be good to hug your grandchildren first."

Baochai remained silent, not even raising her head.Hearing this, Xiang Ling lowered her head in shame.

Xue suddenly remembered, when her son comes out, how will she live on in the future?He can't be successful, so he can only follow the old master's old path, continue to open a shop and live comfortably.

Speaking of opening a shop, of course capital is needed.Furthermore, as the saying goes, the poor do not compete with the rich, and the rich do not compete with officials. If you don't have someone with a certain status to protect you, it will be difficult for you to open a shop quietly and earn a few hard-earned money.

No matter which one, you can't get around the new son-in-law Jia Yucun.Whether you asked him to borrow a sum of money for the capital in the early stage, or asked him to protect some later, it had to fall on the daughter.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue became more anxious, looked at Baochai fixedly, and said earnestly: "Did you listen to what mother said? Mother is for your own good, how can a woman not have a son and a half girl by her side?" What's more, my uncle doesn't have a child, if you..."

"Mother, eat your vegetables." Baochai hurriedly interrupted her, brought some vegetables to Mrs. Xue, and said with a smile, "I know that Mother has good intentions, and I already have an idea in mind."

"I know you've always been big-minded, but don't just get into that dead-end alley and refuse to come out." Mrs. Xue pointed out.

Baochai took a deep breath, and the stubborn side of Xue's temperament came out again. If she really wanted to argue with her, it might take until next year.

So, she turned around with a smile and asked Xiangling: "Sister-in-law, is brother fat? Does he look good?"

There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the dinner table, Xiangling replied carefully: "I'm a little fatter, but I look better."

Xue stared at Baochai closely, and was not distracted by Xue Pan's topic at all. She said to Baochai cautiously: "Don't think I talk too much, I will tell you clearly. Wait for your brother to come out." Of course, I still need to open a small shop, and when the time comes to choose a storefront, hire a buddy, buy goods... all of these will require capital. Besides, there are no contacts these days, and I don’t know how many bastards come to the door to ask for trouble, and I have to take care of it.”

"I understand that." As long as Baochai was not urged to have a baby, she answered very straightforwardly, "I helped 99 steps, and I didn't miss the last step. I think the master will agree. There is only one thing. In the future, my brother will not be allowed to do nothing. Let's live a life, and don't be that hands-off shopkeeper anymore. You only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. As long as he does one or a half things that cause trouble, I won't recognize him. Let him go, okay? Don't come to me if it's bad."

"It's natural." Xue smiled happily, "Now only my uncle can rely on me, and I know how rare this opportunity is, if I don't cherish it, if it makes my uncle hate us and you, I will take it with you." die with him."

"Okay, why are you so serious." Baochai poured a bowl of soup for Mrs. Xue with her own hands, "As long as he is willing to make progress, I also hope that he will get better and better."

After dinner, Mrs. Xue took Xiangling back to the house to rest, but Baochai took a lunch break by herself.

……

There is a small restaurant on Ping'an Road near the outer city. The decoration is very ordinary and the price is very affordable. Jia Yucun didn't go home at noon, so he came here to wait for the rabbit.

He asked for a room in the box on the second floor, stood by the window, and looked out through the wide open window.

Not long after, Qin Yuchuan really came in.

Qin Yuchuan is an old regular customer here, and he especially likes their signature dish, the squid, and he always comes here once or twice a week.

When Qin Yuchuan entered the door, the clerk greeted him warmly: "Sir, is it still the same?"

"Yes." Qin Yuchuan nodded with a smile, "Choose a clean room on the second floor." As he spoke, he accidentally glanced upstairs, facing Jia Yucun's smiling face.

"..." He wanted to turn around and leave, but felt that he would appear too weak.He never offended Jia Yucun, each was his own master.Furthermore, his current status is always stronger than the opponent.

Therefore, Qin Yuchuan nodded slightly, as if he had greeted Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun left the window, sat back at the table, and told Shuangshou, "Open the door."

Qin Yuchuan followed the guy up the stairs, and when passing by Jia Yucun's private room, Jia Yucun smiled and called him: "Mr. Qin, what a coincidence."

Qin Yuchuan stopped, paused, entered the private room, cupped his hands and said to Jia Yucun, "I didn't expect Mrs. Jia to like this taste."

The dishes are already set on the table, among which there are two braised Aohua fish, also known as stinky fish.The method is to marinate first and then braise in soy sauce. When marinating, you need to put the fish in light salt water and leave it for about six or seven days.

This dish is like stinky tofu. People who are used to eating it will think it is the supreme delicacy. Those who are not used to eating it will feel uncomfortable even smelling it.

Jia Yucun chuckled: "I came here once or twice before, and I didn't feel it when I ate it, but after thinking about it later, I felt that it had a different taste, so I came here to try it again today."

Jia Yucun got up and invited Qin Yuchuan to take a seat: "It's boring to enjoy alone. If you don't mind, please sit down. I haven't thanked you for what happened last time."

What happened last time?Qin Yuchuan made it clear that he was referring to the matter of Second Grandma Bao. When he heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he politely declined: "Don't dare to disturb your lord's elegance, I..."

"Hey, it's better to meet by chance than to invite you. I happened to meet you today. Don't be polite. I can't finish eating such a table. It's a pity to waste it. Besides, I'm no longer an official. Don't call me anymore sir. grown ups."

Jia Yucun spoke modestly and his face was full of sincerity, Qin Yuchuan thought about it, now that Jia Yucun has no official status, if he had a meal with him by himself, even if the eldest prince knew about it, it would be fine.

Qin Yuchuan thanked him with a smile, and then sat down.

Shuangshou closed the door and came over to fill the wine glasses for the two of them. Jia Yucun glanced at him, Shuangshou understood, and immediately retreated outside the door to guard.

Qin Yuchuan chatted with a smile: "I don't know where the master is now?"

Jia Yucun didn't believe that he didn't know, but since it was a small talk, the topic was not limited, and he didn't mind it himself, so he replied frankly: "It's better to have a meal at the residence of Mr. Qian, a member of the Ministry of Rites. Sir, you have lofty aspirations. Come, come, drink and eat."

After Qin Yuchuan heard this, he held his breath in his heart, and even lost his taste for his favorite carp.

Follow the eldest prince to do things, if the eldest prince can be crowned the throne in the future, that's all. If he fails, I'm afraid he can't even compare with the current situation of Jia Yucun.Once the new emperor is purged, the first batch of confidantes like him will be liquidated.

His face froze slightly, and he said haha: "I don't have any ambitions, but I'm just like you, just eating a living."

"There are several kinds of meals." Jia Yucun said in a nonchalant manner, "For example, the meal for promotion and wealth, such as... the meal for cutting off one's head. You can talk nonsense, but you can't eat indiscriminately."

Qin Yuchuan almost couldn't hold back his expression, and agreed firmly: "Indeed, you can't eat indiscriminately, and it's best not to talk indiscriminately."

Jia Yucun laughed out loud.

After all, Qin Yuchuan was not reconciled to being stabbed by the other party like this. He squinted his eyes and smiled, and asked, "Sir, why don't you find a way to find a job? Although the Rongguo Mansion is gone, the second prince is still kind-hearted after all." , for the sake of your past friendship, he must be happy to do this favor."

Jia Yucun glanced at him, laughed again, gradually stopped under Qin Yuchuan's puzzled and ashamed expression, and said slowly: "Let me tell you a heart-to-heart, I have studied poetry and books for dozens of years. The only thing I want to do is to make my family's life rich and worry-free, if I am not careful, it will implicate them instead, so what is the meaning of my life?"

Qin Yuchuan put away his small thoughts and fell into deep thought.

Although the eldest prince is the eldest, he is not a concubine. After several years of getting along, Qin Yuchuan has long discovered that he has a cruel temperament, greedy for money, lustful, and stupid. Many times he has to be woken up by others, otherwise he does not know how much trouble he caused. things come.

For such an unsupportable Ah Dou, the odds of winning are extremely small, and his future fate is almost predictable.

Looking at these princes, only the second prince Zhu Rong has the best reputation, but there are so many capable people around the second prince, even if he wants to switch, I am afraid that the second prince will not accept it.

He is already riding a tiger and can't get off, in a dilemma.How great would it be if... there was one more way out?

Thinking of this, Qin Yuchuan looked upright, and asked Jia Yucun seriously, "Is Mr. Jia helping...?"

Jia Yucun shook his head invisibly, his face full of inscrutability: "I am only for myself, no matter when, I always leave a way out for myself to save my life."

Qin Yuchuan opened his eyes wide, thinking that he was dazzled just now.

If Jia Yucun didn't work for the second prince, who else could it be?He wanted to ask a little more, Jia Yucun had already got up and left the table, and walked to the window.

"In order to avoid getting into trouble, go around to cater to people; in order to pursue fame, make friends with powerful people everywhere; this kind of hypocrisy, tact, and forced smiles are exhausted after a long time. People must not only settle down at any time, but also be flexible and changeable. Only by knowing how to plan for a rainy day can you have a stable life."

After hearing this, Qin Yuchuan stood up and bowed deeply to Jia Yucun: "Listening to what you said, I feel a lot of emotion."

"Hey, Mr. Qin is too polite." Jia Yucun helped him up with his own hands, and said with a smile, "Come on, eat the vegetables. If you don't eat any more, it will be cold."

Qin Yuchuan also knew that there were some things that could not be rushed, so he quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and chatted with Jia Yucun about the anecdotes of the capital with a smile.
