[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Fan Jiaoxing was very happy to get the letter from the master that she would come to have dinner later.

The whole East Wing got busy, Fan Jiaoxing instructed the little girl to wipe the clean furniture again with a rag, Qiuyue went to the kitchen to arrange meals, Fan Jiaoxing washed her hands, made a pot of good tea herself, and then Changed into a new dress.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

In the middle of the unitary hour, the shareholder wind finally entered the east chamber, Fan Jiaoxing greeted him with a smile, Jia Yucun had something to worry about, so he only smiled slightly.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Fan Jiaoxing felt a little uneasy, and carefully handed over a cup of tea, thinking to herself, the master's face is not good, could it be that he doesn't want to come to my place?

As soon as this thought came up, she pushed it down again.

What kind of temper is the master?If he doesn't like it, who can force him?Most likely encountered something difficult outside.

Fan Jiaoxing has a sense of crisis recently, Baochai is younger than her, better at earning money than her, and is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can only serve the master conscientiously.

When it comes to serving people, the two aunts in the family are not bad, they are even more pleasing to the eye than myself.

What good is this?

Fan Jiaoxing wanted to make a good impression of herself in Jia Yucun, but now she saw that his complexion was not good, so she hurriedly asked with concern: "I see that the master has been frowning since he came in, but what happened to him?" Something difficult?"

Jia Yucun squeezed the space between his eyebrows, put on a smiling face, took a couple of sips from the tea cup, and then said softly, "It's all right, is the meal ready?"

He refused to speak, and Fan Jiaoxing couldn't ask any further questions. It happened that Qiuyue came in with two big food boxes, and Fan Jiaoxing hurried over to help arrange the dishes.

Seeing that the food was ready, Jia Yucun sat down at the dining table and prepared to eat, while Fan Jiaoxing stood beside her, serving him dishes with chopsticks.

After picking up some dishes, Jia Yucun said to her, "Sit down, let's eat together."

Fan Jiaoxing smiled sweetly, and was not in a hurry to eat after sitting down. According to Jia Yucun's past taste, she picked up a few more dishes and then took a small bite by herself.

Although the master came over for dinner, he wasn't sure if he would stay here overnight. It always felt deserted to eat so dryly.

She was eager to share Jia Yucun's worries, even if she couldn't help much, she could still let the master know what she wanted.

Therefore, Fan Jiaoxing put down her chopsticks and brought up what she said just now: "Master has worked hard outside and is busy all day long. I can't help you at home. Seeing Master's face is not good, I feel uncomfortable."

Hearing what she said, Jia Yucun had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and comforted him, "It's none of your business, it's because there are some troubles outside."

Jia Yucun is not used to talking about things outside, Fan Jiaoxing also knows this, if it was changed to before, she should have stopped when she heard this.

But recently Jia Yucun often rests in the West Wing, and Fan Jiaoxing has become agitated, a little anxious for success, she continued to show her virtuousness and thoughtfulness with a poignant smile: "As long as it's about the master, what's inside and outside? ?Although I am stupid, I have learned a lot from the old lady over the years, maybe I can give you an idea for the master?"

Jia Yucun looked at her and shook his head: "You can't help with this." Then he picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

Fan Jiaoxing bit her lips, and asked flatteringly: "Sir, will you rest here tonight? I'll send someone to order the kitchen to boil some hot water, so I can wash up later."

While eating, Jia Yucun replied, "No, I have to go to the study."

After all, Fan Jiaoxing is also his wife, and he came here to eat to make face for her, and he would never dare to spend the night here.

He had just promised Baochai that he would treat her wholeheartedly, and he would rest in other women's rooms as soon as he turned his head. Thinking with his heels, he knew that Baochai would definitely be angry. risk.

Fan Jiaoxing was so disappointed that she didn't even want to eat, and Jia Yucun was so tight-lipped that she didn't even ask what was going on outside. Chai dug a hole.

"It is said that the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. I have no knowledge, but my younger sister has studied since childhood and knows a lot. Why don't you ask her?"

From Fan Jiaoxing's point of view, even if Baochai earned some money by handwork, it could only be counted as female celebrity, at most, her hands were more skillful than others.

Men's affairs outside are all important matters, how can women know these things?

She wished that Jia Yucun would hurry up and ask Baochai if Baochai would not be able to answer, so that the master would know that Baochai was not good at everything.

After hearing her words, Jia Yucun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, without commenting a word.

Seeing this, Fan Jiaoxing became more and more eager to make Baochai feel embarrassed, and said repeatedly: "The master hasn't seen my sister yet, has she? You've been out all day, and my sister still doesn't know what to think. Wait a while, master." Let’s also sit in the West Wing, Sister An An’s heart.”

When the master encounters difficulties and is in a bad mood, she is also prone to bad luck when serving her.Besides, the master said that he would not rest in the east chamber at night, so she might as well just push it to Baochai, on the one hand let Baochai jump into her own pit, and on the other hand, she would appear to be magnanimous and tolerant.

Jia Yucun looked at her fixedly for several times, and agreed: "Alright, I'll go over and sit down later."

Only then did Fan Jiaoxing feel a little satisfied, and graciously served Jia Yucun some food, urging him to finish eating and go to the West Wing, while she herself waited to see that the master was disappointed with Baochai.

In the west chamber, Yinger served Baochai with meals, and glanced at the east chamber from time to time.

Baochai glanced at her and advised, "Don't look. There are no outsiders here, so sit down and have dinner with me."

Ying'er thought she was doing a cover-up, but she didn't expect to be caught, so she smiled embarrassingly and didn't make any excuses, for fear of making Baochai feel bad.

The name between her and Baochai is master and servant, Baochai doesn't like to put on airs of master, they usually get along like sisters, and they often sit and eat together many times, so Yinger didn't refuse, she quickly withdrew her mind and sat down I served a bowl of rice for myself.

Ying'er ate absent-mindedly, always wondering if the master would rest in the East Wing at night, but Baochai couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up a chopstick dish for her, and said helplessly, "Eat quickly, you won't be able to concentrate on eating for a while." , Thinking about it. Our life now is many times better than before, so don't worry about nothing."

Ying'er was terrified that she, a girl, wanted her master to persuade her to persuade her to eat, so she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and smiled flatteringly: "The girl said yes. The girl in the robe in the afternoon is almost done, and I will eat it later." If you catch up with the meal, the master will be able to wear it tomorrow."

Baochai pursed her lips, was silent for a while, and said softly: "After finishing this, I can concentrate on making my purse."

After dinner, Yinger cleared the table, Baochai washed her hands and then sat on the couch to finish work on the robe. Hongjin went to the tea room to make tea, and just as the tea was brought up, Jia Yucun came over.

He saw at a glance that Baochai was holding a long robe in his hand, and he guessed it must have been made for himself, and the melancholy of the day was thrown aside, and he was very happy.

Smelling the fragrance of tea, he ordered Hongjin: "Make another cup of strong tea."

Hearing his voice, Baochai looked up quickly, unable to control the surprise in her heart, smiled involuntarily, and looked at him with bright eyes.

Seeing her appearance, Jia Yucun's heart softened. He hurriedly took two steps, not letting Baochai stay on the bed to salute, and explained: "I remember what you said at that time. I haven't been in Dongfang for a long time. On the other hand, Fan came to invite her again and again, she is different from those two aunts, and I should give her the face. Don't worry, I only had a meal there and did nothing else."

Baochai's heart was full of sweetness, it was already very good for him to have this kind of awareness.

Jia Yucun carefully observed her expression and saw that she was smiling sweetly without any force. She probably didn't mind having dinner with Fan, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope you can get along with her in harmony. Bad things, she can't do big treacherous things."

"She is a sister, I should respect her." Baochai still had a smile on his face.

Mrs. Xue also mentioned this, who can control what Fan Jiaoxing thinks?Even if she said some bad words, Baochai would not lose a little because of it.

She wouldn't bother Jia Yucun with such a trivial matter, she just digested it by herself.

Jia Yucun said cheerfully: "I was going to come to see you, but Fan urged me to come, she said you are smart, maybe you can help me..."

Before he finished speaking, he realized that he had inadvertently talked too much.

Baochai was a little curious and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Yucun didn't intend to bring it up at first, but just now he slipped the tongue. He wanted to hide it but was afraid that Baochai would be paranoid, thinking that he and Fan Shi had whispered something shameful behind their backs.

He took out a small folded piece of paper from his pocket, with a few ghostly symbols drawn on it.He had no hope, purely to show his innocence.

"That's it, look."

Baochai took a look, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and immediately recognized a few English words.

Now it was Jia Yucun's turn to raise his eyebrows. He has been an official for many years and is good at observing words and expressions. From Baochai's reaction, it can be seen that she knows her.

"You really know them?" Jia Yucun asked quickly.

"Cough." Baochai didn't answer, but cleared her throat, her eyes dodged, not daring to look at him.

Of course she knew her, she was also a graduate of this major.It's just that people in this era call the foreigners barbarians and disdain to learn their languages ​​and characters.

If I admit it, how can I tell this lie later?

Jia Yucun was overjoyed, his eyes lit up, and he sighed: "Let me tell you, how did you develop such a strange temperament? It turns out that you learned too many and complicated things when you were young. It's all your uncle's failure to live up to expectations." , father-in-law has no hope in him, so he hugs you every day to teach him."

"..." Baochai didn't expect him to think of this excuse for himself, "Where did you hear that?"

"Hehe, I talked with my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law said that when you were young, your father-in-law often took you to the outer courtyard to teach, and you often went for a walk on the street. Your family is a businessman, and it is not unusual to know one or two foreigners. Father-in-law What a wonderful person, he even asked you to learn this."

"Hehe." Baochai smirked, what a perfect excuse.

Xue Pan only loves to eat, drink and have fun, how could he study with him, there is no time to hide.Since it was carried to the outer courtyard, Mrs. Xue couldn't always follow her. Such an explanation really makes sense!
