[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Yinger ran back and said to Baochai that the master is back, but he has to go to the study to deal with some things before he can come.

Baochai finally felt relieved, no longer anxious and impatient, and repeatedly told her to go and prepare tea and snacks.

As soon as Jia Yucun stepped into the west chamber, he saw a pot of hot tea on the couch, and several dishes of snacks and fruits beside him, several of which were his favorites.

He enjoyed this kind of care and care, especially from Baochai.He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, secretly happy in his heart.

Baochai greeted her with a smile, and Jia Yucun helped her up with her own hands, and without letting go, she led Baochai to the couch and sat down.

Baochai wasn't used to being so close to him, so she couldn't take her hand out after struggling, so she thought about it, she still has something to ask him later, forget it, and don't bother with him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Baochai poured out a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Jia Yucun looked at her flattering himself with a smile, took the tea, and said bluntly, "I went to the shop before going home, and I heard from Shopkeeper Qian..."

The conversation stopped here, and Baochai hurriedly continued: "Master, what do you think about this matter? I don't have much experience, and I don't know if it's good to sell it, and I'm afraid they will cheat me."

"According to my idea, let's sell it. How many things do you have to work day and night? Do you still need your eyes? Do you still need your hands?"

Jia Yucun was a little angry when he mentioned this. Baochai is his woman, so would he not care about her food, drink and clothes?As for being so desperate!

"I don't want to see you work so hard. If you feel that the money is not enough, I will subsidize you some more every month in the future. It just so happens that you sell some this time, and you get a lot of money yourself. Keep it with you, and you can relax in the future." Take it easy."

What he said was sincere and not fake, Baochai took a deep look at him and his heart fluctuated.

It would be a lie to say that he is not tired, since he came to this place, he has not enjoyed any blessings, and he has been forced to take on a heavy burden: Mrs. Xue is waiting for her to take care of her filially, and Xue Pan is waiting for her to redeem her sins with money.

If the negotiation with the people from Jinyu Xiuzhuang is successful, Xue Pan's money will be settled, and Xue's family will no longer have to worry about it—although Jia Yucun said that Xue Pan is his responsibility, but what if he changes his mind along the way? ?

By the way, she still owes Jia Yucun 200 taels!

"Yeah." Baochai nodded, "I also want to sell it in my heart, and you don't need to subsidize me, it's just as good as before."

Jia Yucun: "You know it, is it all in the picture book last time?"

Baochai stretched out a slender white finger, tapped lightly on her own head, and said humbly, "There are more here."

Jia Yucun thought for a while and made a decision for her: "It's better to sell six items and keep the others first."

300 taels for one style, and six styles are 800 taels. Such a large sum of money made Baochai dizzy.Then I thought about the redemption money, and I didn't know if it was enough. What if the government wanted 2000 taels, or even more?

Baochai glanced at Jia Yucun, and asked cautiously, "My mother always hopes that my brother will be released from prison. I have never encountered such a thing before, and I don't know how much the money will cost in the future?"

Jia Yucun is a smart person, and he can understand what Baochai means when he hears it, and he feels a little unhappy that she and himself have figured it out so clearly, it's too natural.

"Although your brother's matter involved a person's life, he didn't do it on purpose. It was manslaughter. Besides, your family spent a lot of money on this matter before. When the amnesty is granted, those who have taken advantage of your family will not I’m ashamed to stick to it on purpose, I reckon 1000 taels would be enough, maybe even less.”

"This is really great." Only then did Baochai really feel relieved. Even if 1000 taels were crossed out, there would still be 800 taels left. It would cost more than 100 taels to buy an ordinary yard, and save the remaining hundreds of taels. That's enough to get by.

What's more, she didn't plan to stay idle at home and get moldy after getting the money, and gradually made a few things and sold them in the shop, earning the family's daily food.

"The price over there is 300 taels. I asked the money shopkeeper to increase the price. After all, your craft is the only one in the capital. If they want to learn it, they can pay a lot of money, otherwise why sell it to them?"

"Add more?" Baochai was timid, fearing that her appetite would scare people away, let alone 800 taels, there would be no more than eight copper coins.

The buckles or purses she knows seem difficult and not very easy to learn, but she is not the only capable person in the world. If someone studies hard, buy ten or eight of them and go back, take them apart one by one, Sooner or later, I can figure it out.

So far, no one has learned it, probably because her shipments are too small, and the ones she made before were bought by wives, who is willing to let them be ruined by others?

"Plus." Jia Yucun said affirmatively, "That's how it is when talking about business. You rely on the other party for everything, as if we are begging him to buy it. Otherwise, he will have to lower the price and make his posture higher. He is more than flexible. His family."

The price increase was good for Baochai, so she was happy, and quickly thanked her: "I'm a woman, and it's not convenient for me to come forward, so I'll leave this matter to the master."

Jia Yucun took a sip of tea and squinted at her: "Then what do you have to thank me for?"

This is probably the high profile he just mentioned, right?Still got it right.

If you want something from others, you will be controlled by others. Baochai doesn't mind lowering her stance, as long as she can earn money.

Baochai got off the couch, walked behind Jia Yucun, kneaded his shoulders for him, held him in his arms and said, "I know the master doesn't care about my little money, and talking about dividends is insulting your character. You will My son is not short of food and clothing, but I am short of a girl who can pinch my shoulders, so please don't think my hands are weak."

Jia Yucun squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying himself, but did not answer.

A real girl has been used to doing all kinds of work since she was a child, so she naturally has a lot of strength in her hands. Although Baochai often makes all kinds of things, she uses it cleverly, and she really doesn't have brute force.

As soon as she got started, she noticed that Jia Yucun's shoulders were full of hard muscles. She tried her best to press twice, but failed to make a hole. She decided to change the method, knocking around first, and paying attention to avoiding the bones. , so as not to hurt your hands, and then rub it a few more times.

She planned to press him for a quarter of an hour at most, as long as she felt like it.

Baochai's hands were limp and boneless, no matter whether she was knocking or rubbing, it was as if she was scratching an itch.Guan Jian, it doesn't stop itching at all, on the contrary, it gets more and more itchy.

Jia Yucun's heart was like a cat's scratching, itching so badly, and he still had an expression of enjoyment on his face.Slowly, he became shamefully hard.

In late autumn, when the cold wind blew up, Baochai had already put on a padded jacket, while Jia Yucun relied on his physical strength to wear thick quilted gowns only when he went out, and changed into thin ones when he got home.

There are burning pits everywhere in the house, and there is little time to walk outside the house, and it is okay to wear thin robes.At this moment, the physical changes happened so quickly that people were caught off guard. Baochai was standing behind him again, and he could see it with just lowering his eyes.

Jia Yucun was extremely embarrassed, and hoped that the fire would pass quickly, but the pair of hardworking little hands on his shoulders were still tirelessly rubbing and pressing, making the fire more and more intense.

"Cough." He coughed and turned sideways, avoiding Baochai's hand, and said with a blushing face, "That's enough, rest, how can I really treat you like a girl."

Baochai's words fit Baochai's wishes, and she immediately went back to sit on the opposite side of the couch, and said, "It's my good fortune to serve the master, how can I be tired?"

Jia Yucun glanced at her with a smile, adjusted his sitting posture, and used the cover of the kang table to tease his little brother, trying to push him down.

It's a pity that although the little brother is stunned, he is extremely firm|unyielding. He just pushed it down, and it bounced back as soon as he let go.

He had no choice but to cross his legs, use his bent knees to prop up the robe high, then press his upper body slightly, and put his arms on the kang table, so as to completely cover the abnormality in his waist and abdomen.

After Baochai sat down, she still thought about continuing to be courteous. For the 800 taels, it would be nothing to do a little fuss by herself for a few days.

She took the initiative to touch Jia Yucun's teacup, and said softly: "It's getting cold, wait for me to change to a hot one."

"Need not."

Jia Yucun hastily stretched out his hand, and it happened to cover the back of Baochai's hand. Baochai was startled, her cheeks flushed immediately, and she was about to shrink back, but Jia Yucun held her tightly, with a smirk on the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice. Said: "Madam is so considerate, I am a little flattered. No wonder the world loves money, money really touches people's hearts."

In the past, when Jia Yucun came to the West Chamber, Baochai didn't say he was caring, but he would not be cold-faced. It's just that he likes to order girls to do everything. It's really rare for someone to do everything by himself like today.

Tolerate!One thousand 800 taels of silver was beckoning to her!

Baochai didn't compete with him, she smiled and said calmly: "My family is a merchant, and I don't value money. Is it possible to lose money and become a good person?"

"Hahaha!" Jia Yucun raised his head and laughed, and let go of his hand. "The world likes to divide people into three, six, and nine grades, and I don't pay much attention to those. Madam is a good temper, I said something wrong, I want to tell you apologize."

"It's easy to talk about." Baochai hurriedly withdrew her hand under the kang table to prevent him from doing bad things again, "I have to rely a lot on the master for the matter of Jin Yuxiu Zhuang."

"Never dare to disappoint my wife's trust in me." Jia Yucun raised his glass and offered tea to Baochai instead of wine.

While chatting, Jia Yucun felt that the little brother had softened a bit, and he was not afraid to show it when he got up, so he took Baochai to the main courtyard to pay his respects.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Xue was also there. Jia Yucun saw that Baochai did not take the initiative to bring up the matter of making money, and even praised Baochai in his heart, thinking that her determination is really good. up.

If the matter has not been accomplished, they are bragging everywhere, and if it does happen later, it will be fine. If there is a change, wouldn't it be a joke?

During the meal, Jia Yucun looked at Baochai frequently, but Baochai did not respond to his eyes in front of the elders, and pretended not to see him.

Mrs. Song and Mrs. Xue are not blind, they are happy in their hearts, they just think that the young couple have a good relationship.Especially Mrs. Song, she has always felt that Jia Yucun's temperament is too cold, especially when she treats the women in the backyard indifferently.If things go on like this, how will the grandchildren come?

At the beginning, she thought it was because her son was carrying too much burden, so she didn't spend much time in the backyard.Later, when he obtained his fame and became an official, and even when the official became bigger and bigger, he still had that cold-hearted appearance.

She hinted a few times and persuaded her a few times, but with little effect.

The son is getting more and more assertive, and he is a well-established head of the family. No matter how anxious Mrs. Song is, she doesn't dare to force him to sleep with a woman.

Now that it's all right, a Baochai came out, and the son became more and more smoky, and his temperament softened a lot.

After Jia Yucun praised Baochai in her heart, Mrs. Song also praised Baochai in her heart.
