[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Nowadays, the styles of buckles are relatively common and rigid, and there are only three types most used on the market: straight buckle, square buckle and pipa buckle.

Baochai’s chrysanthemum plate buckle is very popular, not only is it exquisite in workmanship, but also ingenious in color matching, and it is also unique, otherwise it would not have attracted two ladies to raise their prices to snatch it up.

It's a pity that it can't be mass-produced. Manual work requires not only dexterity, but also talent.Ying'er's handwork is pretty good, and the flower baskets that come out are very beautiful, but if she is asked to learn how to make buttons with Baochai, she will feel dizzy and painful after a few days, and the finished product is also completely different.

Baochai no longer insisted on her, and could only think of the bright side: Rare things are more valuable, and there are benefits to having less.If everyone in the street can make this thing, the price will come down.

Strike while the iron is hot, Baochai is very eager to make money, and immediately thinks about trying a few more new tricks, such as plum blossom buckles, butterfly buckles, branch buckles, leaf buckles and so on.

When Yinger came back from the kitchen, Baochai had already drawn the shape of a branch button on the paper, and she was holding a light blue silk thread in her hand, ready to start work.

She leaned forward to have a look, and sighed: "Miss didn't do it earlier, this button is used on the master's robe, how beautiful it is!"

"I strike while the iron is hot to make money, but you take advantage of the fire to rob. How much money did the master give you to make you so eager to plunder my things?" Baochai was so busy that she said slowly without raising her head.

"Hehe." Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled, "I said you were stingy, but I still don't admit it."

"Don't talk nonsense." Baochai stopped what she was doing, picked up the blueprint and looked at it carefully before continuing to work, "After finishing these, I plan to make a few more purses, I'm very busy, don't disturb me with nonsense. "

Ying'er didn't dare to disturb her anymore.

Ying'er knew that she was not talented enough to earn this kind of money, and the ordinary nets she made were not very popular.In general, the maids in rich families can do one or two handicrafts, and such common things are usually made by their maids.

In the box I took out last time, there were ten nets woven by Ying'er, but only six were sold, and another one was given away as a gift, and now there are three left.

Yinger was not in a hurry to rush to work, she opened the box to find white cotton cloth, cut it with scissors, and planned to make two pairs of thick winter socks for Baochai.

The master and servant were doing their respective tasks quietly, so devoted to each other that they didn't even notice when Jia Yucun came in.

"Hey, this button is not bad. Later, I will ask the housekeeper to bring in a piece of apricot yellow material. You can make me a robe, and this button will match it. It must look good."

Baochai was startled by his sudden utterance, and hurriedly raised her head. Fortunately, Jia Yucun quickly turned her head away, otherwise she would definitely hit his chin.

The button in Baochai's hand was half finished, and the shape of the branch was already very obvious. No wonder Jia Yucun took a fancy to it at a glance.

"It's, it's not done yet." Baochai went to the bed and bowed, feeling upset that he came to grab his things again, stammering and making excuses.

Yinger had shrunk down from the couch a long time ago, and quickly arranged the seat.

Jia Yucun thought Yinger was too hot to sit on the seat, so he refused to sit on it, and sat down on the place where Baochai had been sitting.

Seeing some reluctance in Baochai's eyes, he secretly smiled and asked her intentionally, "Could it be that this was not made for me, but sent to a shop to sell? Yes, I'll give you the money, right? "

It would be meaningless to say it out loud like this. Although Baochai loves money, when it comes to this, he has no choice but to reluctantly give away another pair of buckles, just to pay for his commission and dividends.

She said with a smile: "Master is really good at joking, what about money, when the robe is ready, I will try it on for you."

"Yeah." Satisfied, Jia Yucun nodded with a smile, remembering that she still owed him a feast, and hurriedly asked, "Have you bought any wine?"

"I bought it." Baochai asked Ying'er to bring the wine jar, "I entrusted the young man to buy it in the street this afternoon. I don't know much about wine. If you don't buy it well, don't hold it against you."

"I don't dislike it, it costs you money, in fact, it's worth buying me a bowl of water."

It seemed a bit bad to speak too modestly, coupled with his meaningful smile, Baochai couldn't help but blush, thinking of her self-conscious petty bourgeois mentality, she felt ashamed for no reason.

When Ying'er walked over with the wine jar in her hand, Jia Yucun could hardly hold back the smirk on Jia Yucun's face. The small jar as big as a slap was poured out, and I wondered if there was a bowl.

He put away the shock in his heart, frowned and asked, "How much silver did you buy it for? Which boy did you order to buy it? Call him in and I'll ask to see which one it is."

"It took more than one or two."

Baochai put away her shame and replied confidently.My monthly money is only two or three taels, and I spent almost half of it on wine at once, which is already very generous.

Jia Yucun took the wine jar, opened it and smelled it: "The taste is not bad, but there is too little, and there is still wine in the front yard. Ying'er, go to Shuangfu and ask him to take the three-jin jar of flower carvings. Bring in the wine."

Three catties?Baochai widened her almond eyes.

If he drank all of this, what if he used alcohol to commit murder and forgot that this marriage was not counted?

Jia Yucun is tall, with a height of 1.8 meters and Baochai who is only 1.6 meters [-]. He can know who wins and who loses with his eyes closed.

"No, don't you need it?" Baochai forced a smile, and said dryly, "Too much wine will hurt your health, and a small drink will make you happy. Besides, didn't you agree that I will invite you? If you want to drink, it is not considered a good thing." I asked for it."

Jia Yucun looked at her with a half-smile, and then at the palm-sized wine jar. While Baochai was waiting anxiously, she finally mercifully said, "Forget it. Let someone go to the kitchen to remind you. hungry."

The weather was getting cooler and the night was getting darker and earlier. By the time Yinger and Hongjin put the hot food on the table, it was already dusk outside.

Ying'er brought two wine glasses, filled each of them, then stepped aside, and stood with Hong Jin with her head hanging down.

"Come on, taste the wine you bought." Jia Yucun took the lead in holding up the wine glass, and said a congratulatory speech with a smile, "May your business prosper in the future and your wealth will prosper."

"Thank you." Baochai liked to hear these words very much, and immediately smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked.

Baochai only drank beer and red wine in her life, and it was the first time for rice wine. She thought it would be as spicy as white wine, but she didn't expect it to taste light, and it still had a slight fragrance after a sip.

Baochai took a small sip first, and then drank the rest of the cup when she thought it was still good for her mouth.

Jia Yucun had been paying attention to her. Seeing this, before the girl came up to add more wine, he picked up the wine jar to fill it up for Baochai, and persuaded: "It's cold, it's okay to have another drink."

"No more." Baochai shook her head, she didn't know how much alcohol was in the wine, she was afraid that she would get drunk, so she quickly picked up the chopsticks and made a gesture to pick up food, "I'm hungry, eat something first."

Therefore, Jia Yucun stopped persuading her, and he only drank two cups before eating food.

After the two of them were full, only three cups of wine in the wine jar were gone, and there was still a lot left, so Jia Yucun asked the girl to clean up the table, brought over some appetizers, and placed them on the kang in the inner room to continue drinking.

Baochai thinks that wine is a bad thing, if you drink too much it is easy to lose your nature and reason, but the kang table has been set, and Jia Yucun is enthusiastic again, after all, it is his own treat, such a small jar of wine has not been finished, and it is a bit uncomfortable to leave early Excuse me.

"Master, this wine is specially bought for you, please drink more." Baochai raised his glass to persuade him.

Jia Yucun smiled without saying a word, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.Baochai, a thief, only took a sip, then put down his glass to pour wine for Jia Yucun.

Jia Yucun got the wine jar first, filled it up for himself, and then just held it up and waited for Baochai.

Baochai had no choice but to take another sip. Jia Yucun didn't mind that she didn't finish the drink, so he filled up the remaining glass and said cheerfully, "This is the first time a woman invites me to drink. You bought it yourself for thousands of dollars." Don't be polite, could it be that you don't agree with your mouth?"

Although Baochai specially chose ordinary wine in order to save money, and the quantity was small, but this matter cannot be clearly stated.

In order to save face, she braced herself and said, "Shut up, this wine is pretty good."

"Since it's good, then you can drink two more glasses."

Jia Yucun has been in the wine shop for a long time, and the words of persuasion can fill a basket if counted carefully. Baochai lost, so he split the remaining wine with Jia Yucun in a daze.

Fortunately, the wine jar was only the size of a palm, and after it was gone, Jia Yucun asked her specifically: "Is it not enough fun? I'll ask the servants to go to the front to get the wine."

Baochai was already dizzy, and her face was flushed from drinking, as if she was standing on a cloud. She frowned first, then smiled, and said, "Don't drink, if you drink any more, you will make a mistake." of."

Jia Yucun did not expect that Baochai's capacity for alcohol was so poor that only ten cups were poured out of this small altar, which was nothing more than gargling for him, but Baochai was obviously drunk.

Baochai's appearance is extremely beautiful, as bright as a flower, dignified and generous on weekdays, after drinking wine, there is a strong charm all over her body, with an indescribable coquettish demeanor between frowns and smiles, when she stares at you with a pair of watery almond eyes , can melt people's hearts.

"What mistake can I make?" Unable to hold back, Jia Yucun stepped over the kang table and pinched Baochai's face.

Baochai was in pain, looked at him aggrieved and angry, then got off the bed and said quickly: "I don't drink anymore, I'm going to take a bath." As if there was a ghost behind him, he walked very fast.

Jia Yucun smiled lowly and shook his head, shocked by his Meng Lang.

Baochai was a little flustered, and when she came out of the room, her cheeks were flushed, and Ying'er hurriedly asked what was wrong when she saw it.

Baochai: "It's okay. Go fetch water, I'm going to wash up."

When Baochai entered the bathroom, Jia Yucun also came out, and ordered Hongjin to put away the kang table inside, and then asked the mother-in-law to fetch water, and he also wanted to take a bath.
