[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

The matchmaker looked at the direction Jia Yucun was pointing at, then turned her head, gave him a surprised look, and replied, "This is what King Zhongshun said, and it costs 200 taels."

Ordinary people will back off immediately when they hear the words King Zhongshun, even if there is a fairy kneeling there, they would not dare to stain a finger.

Not to mention the high price, 200 taels is enough to buy a house in the outer city.

Jia Yucun is not afraid of him, anyway, he has already made up his mind to go back to the countryside, where is far away, as long as he is not attached to power, so what if the other party is a prince?

"You are an official tooth, and you pull it out and sell it at a clear price. Since you set a price, as long as I can afford it, I can buy it, right?" Jia Yucun looked at the toothmaid fixedly.

Even though she has retired from the officialdom, the authority she has been an official for many years is still there. Such a few words make the matchmaker shudder.

She looked around, but the two guards who stayed behind didn't even look at this place, as if they didn't hear the movement here.

The matchmaker thought to herself that she was just a small person, and there was no need to make noise here. If the master didn't get angry for a while and started to make a scene, it would be her who would suffer.

Regardless of what King Zhongshun means, since they have pulled people out, they probably want to sell them.Furthermore, if you sell one more, your commission will increase accordingly.

After thinking about it this way, the prostitute smiled flatteringly at Jia Yucun: "The master is absolutely right, as long as you are willing to pay 200 taels, she will be yours."

King Zhongshun, who has always been at odds with the Rongguo Mansion, is making things difficult and deliberately making things difficult.

Jia Yucun sighed secretly, and took out two hundred taels of banknotes from his bosom, and handed them over.

Aunt Xue and Xiangling were almost crying with joy, and immediately went to help Xue Baochai.

Ying'er kept her head down, and kneeling for a long time made her dizzy. Suddenly, she heard her wife's voice.

"Ying'er, let go of your hand and leave the girl to me."

Aunt Xue and Xiangling helped the limp Xue Baochai from Yinger's arms, and Yinger raised her head, half-closed her eyes, and said in a weak voice, "Madam, can we go?"

"..." Aunt Xue paused, pursed her lips and did not speak.

Hearing this, Xiangling felt extremely uncomfortable.

Ying'er has a lively personality, and she has served Xue Baochai wholeheartedly since she was a child. She has a very good relationship with Xiangling.

Xiangling looked at Aunt Xue, and tentatively asked in a soft voice, "Madam, why don't you ask the matchmaker?" Ying'er is a real girl, and the matchmaker probably won't exaggerate her price this time.

Aunt Xue gritted her teeth, turned around and asked Yinger the price, and the matchmaker replied that it was only 20 taels.Aunt Xue was taken aback by the price. She is poor now, and she can't even make up 20 taels.

"Don't pretend that I don't understand market prices. For a girl of this age, a dozen taels is enough."

The prostitute's expression was nonchalant: "This is from Rongguo Mansion, can it be the same as the one from the countryside? Buy it or not."

Aunt Xue didn't dare to speak anymore, she walked back to discuss with Xiangling: "It's 20 taels, how can we have so much money?"

Hearing this, Xiangling immediately untied her purse, put it all in the palm of her hand and counted, there were three or two in total.Aunt Xue sighed for a long time, and untied her purse. The two places added together were only eight taels, which was still 12 taels short.

Xiangling said in a low voice: "I'll go ask Mr. Jia, no matter what, I have to give it a try."

Jia Yucun listened to Xiangling's words, neither shook his head nor nodded, just asked her: "Is this the only one?"

If the other party proposes that there are still a series of sisters she is in love with who want to redeem, then he has no choice.It cost 200 taels just to buy Xue Baochai just now, and the 300 taels I just borrowed from Chen Youming left only 100 taels in an instant.

"That's all." Xiangling blushed with shame, she didn't know why Mrs. Jia treated her so kindly, but she was ashamed and knew that she had a thick skin.

"Okay then." Jia Yucun took out his previous 20 taels of silver, "Hurry up, and then we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

At this moment, King Zhongshun is not around, so if you buy someone, you should leave immediately. If you run into this evil spirit later, you don't know what kind of accidents will happen.

Xiangling nodded hastily, and after handing over the money, she and Aunt Xue each helped one up and left the crowd.

It was the afternoon, and the sun was so fierce that Ying'er was almost peeled off by the sun, her lips were dry, and although she could walk by herself, she was not in good spirits, as if she was about to fall down at any time.

The situation of Aunt Xue and Xiangling was not much better. There was not a drop of water for most of the day. Aunt Xue looked at Jia Yucun with eyes full of gratitude.

Where should she go?Where can she go?

Aunt Xue couldn't help shivering, the world is so big, is there no place for her to stay?

Jia Yucun is considerate of people, and he expected that these people might be hungry and thirsty, and also injured, the most urgent thing is to settle them down first, and then invite a doctor to take a look and treat them.

There was a small tea stall on the side of the street. Jia Yucun handed over six copper coins and asked for three bowls of tea.

Aunt Xue was terrified, thanked her, took the bowl of tea to feed Baochai, and said to Xiangling, "Hurry up and drink a bowl with Yinger."

Xiangling refused, and asked his wife to drink first, and she would take care of the girl.

As a result, Xue Baochai's teeth were closed tightly, and most of the water she fed had flowed out, soaking the collar of her coat. Seeing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help crying again.

Jia Yucun: "Staying by the side of the road is not an option. Why don't you go to my house first, and I'll ask the boy to invite a doctor to take a look."

Aunt Xue was worried that she had nowhere to go, and besides, her daughter was bought by Mr. Jia. It stands to reason that her daughter should be a servant of Mr. Jia's family in the future, so she nodded quickly in response.

Jia Yucun called two sedan chairs, and Aunt Xue knew that this was not the time to be polite, so she hugged Baochai and sat on the same chair, Xiangling and Yinger squeezed into the other sedan chair, and Jia Yucun offered to propose that she preferred to walk , guarding beside the sedan chair.

Jia Yucun now lives on Xiping Street, in a half-old small courtyard. This was his real estate before he recovered. Later, the government became bigger and bigger, so he disliked the narrowness of the place, and bought a three-story house in a better part of the inner city. living in a mansion.

In order to be able to resign smoothly as soon as possible, and those who can speak in front of the emperor, all of them have a big appetite, how can a little thing impress them, Jia Yucun did not hesitate to sell that big house. and then moved to live in the old house with his family.

After walking for a long time, finally arrived at the door of the house, Jia Yucun stopped the sedan chair, and then went to knock on the door himself.

The boy Shuangfu opened the door, seeing that it was his master, he hurriedly greeted him.

Jia Yucun ordered: "I remember that there are still a few empty rooms at the other end of the kitchen. You have to get someone to clean it up quickly, and then go and invite a doctor over."

Shuangfu agreed, and saw that there were two sedan chairs following behind, guessing that there must be a family member of someone's family inside, so he hurried in to inform his wife.

Jia Yucun's current wife is Fan Jiaoxing who looked back at him three times back then.

Even though she is a stepwife, being able to transform from a girl into an official wife is not only very self-satisfied for herself, but also admired by many girls.

After hearing Shuangfu's message, Fan Jiaoxing hurriedly ordered her eldest girl, Qiuyue, to tidy up the house, while she took the hand of another eldest girl, Chunhua, to meet the master outside.

There are also two concubines in Jiayu Village, one is the dowry girl of the former wife, known as Aunt Liu; Aunt Fan was renamed Aunt Qiu.

The two aunts did not dare to go out when they heard the commotion outside, they just stood at the door of their respective houses and watched from a distance.

Xiangling and Ying'er got off the sedan chair, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

Aunt Xue also got out of the sedan chair, and was worried about her unconscious daughter. She was about to call the two people to come over and help her. The three of them worked together to carry Baochai in. Jia Yucun came over and said, "Just let the sedan chair go in." .”

The bearer carried the sedan chair steadily, entered the gate of the house, passed through the screen wall, and came to the courtyard. A persimmon tree was planted in the courtyard, which is now bearing fruit, and there are various houses around it. There are also a dozen rooms.

Aunt Xue glanced quickly after entering the door, feeling both surprised and suspicious.

Isn't Mr. Jia working as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion?How do you live in such a small place?

Aunt Xue has seen the richness and grandeur of Rongguo Mansion, and the house she bought outside was at least three-entry, so she felt that the yard in front of her was not enough.

She lives in the inner house, has no information, and does not know the current situation of Jiayu Village.

Jiao Xing greeted the master with a smile, and looked at Aunt Xue and her party suspiciously.

Jia Yucun pointed the bearer in the direction first, and then said to her: "Go to Tongniang and tell her that I'm back, and go over to pay her respects later."

Jiao Xing responded with a warm voice, not disliking Aunt Xue and the other three for being in a mess, she blessed her body gently, and only after Aunt Xue and the other three also saluted, she turned and walked towards the main room.

Jia Yucun's mother, surnamed Song, lived in three main rooms, and was served by two girls, Yuhuan and Yuxi.Jia Yucun and Mrs. Fan live in two rooms on the east side, two aunts live in the west side, each occupying a room, and two servants live in a room in the southeast corner very close to the gate.

Besides these, there was only one cook left, so there were many empty rooms.

It turned out that there were quite a few servants in his house, but because he spent all his savings a few days ago and made up his mind to go back to the south, he dismissed the redundant servants.

The kitchen is located in the northwest corner of the yard, and there are five small rooms next to it. Cook Li only lives in one of them, and the remaining four are vacant.

The bearer followed the guidance, walked through the courtyard, stopped at the northwest corner, and took the reward before exiting.

Xue Baochai was carried into the house and put on the bed. Seeing that she didn't even have a coat, Jia Yucun looked really ugly, and seeing that Aunt Xue was empty-handed, she said to Qiuyue who was waiting beside her, "Go Ask your wife to bring two sets of clothes."

Although Aunt Xue knew that Jia Yucun had always been very close to the Rongguo Mansion, she didn't dare to push her too hard at this time, so she quickly waved her hands and said politely, "It's okay, just find a girl's clothes."

Qiuyue swept Xue Baochai and Ying'er around, and she thought about it, and said to Jia Yucun: "My lord, I'm afraid this girl won't be able to wear my wife's clothes, and I just have a new set of clothes that I haven't worn yet. "

Fan Jiaoxing was short and very thin, Xue Baochai was a little taller and handsome, if she really brought her wife's clothes, I'm afraid that not only would her clothes be too short, but her chest would be too tight to breathe.

Jia Yucun was stunned. In order to avoid suspicion, he hadn't looked at Xue Baochai's face carefully before, so he nodded after hearing the words: "Then you go, and get a basin of hot water for them to wash."

The author has something to say: Jia Yucun looks at the sky with a serious face:

Don't ask me what she looks like, I'm a virtuous person, don't look at evil.

If you think I'm immoral, it must be because you don't know me well enough.
