Struggle of Baochai

"Ying'er, open the windows on all sides to dry out the room, and change the bedding."

After Xue Pan left, Baochai sat blankly for a while, then instructed Yinger to take the little girl to clean up the house, while she herself went into a small study room separated from the outside, and saw the big bookshelves full of all kinds of books , Baochai smiled slightly, and ran his fingers across the spine of the book, trying to find something like a historical biography about the current dynasty.

After all, Xue Baochai is Xue Baochai, with a broad mind and a calm mind. Even the hardships of her previous life did not change her tenacity.

After searching for a long time, Baochai found some wild story books and some biographies of the current figures, and she put these books on the desk, and in a blink of an eye, she saw the thick stack at the bottom of the bookshelf printed with small font paper.

Baochai didn't know what it was, so she reached out and picked up a stack of the same ones and put them on the table.

She arranged the books one by one, and her eyes finally fell on a book called The Princess's Biography. Baochai frowned, but reached out and opened the book.

First of all, there is a preface written by an unknown literati. Baochai read it again. Get curious.

When she read the text, Baochai couldn't sit still.

This……

The Kangxi Dynasty lasted 61 years, but now it has changed to only [-] years. The fourth elder brother Yongzheng should have succeeded to the throne, but Hongxi, the son of the prince, succeeded to the throne. Baochai suddenly understood Well, the emperor has changed, so things in the world are naturally different, she can no longer stick to the past life and be unable to get out.

Looking at it again, Baochai became more and more fascinated, and he didn't know how many scenes he had seen.

It wasn't until Ying'er came to ask her to eat that Baochai concealed her scroll and sighed: "There is such a strange woman in the world. It's so strange that someone wrote a book and biography for her. It really adds color to all women in the world."

Ying'er looked at the title of the book and couldn't help laughing: "Miss, I read The Story of the Princess again. You almost tore through this book. I have read it for countless times and it still doesn't bother me. I don't even know what to say, Miss. What's the matter? Fortunately, it's a princess, a girl, if it's a man, the girl won't suffer from lovesickness."

Baochai was embarrassed for a moment, twisted Yinger's face and said bitterly: "You little hoof has become more and more courageous, and you have actually made fun of your girl."

Ying'er smiled and begged for mercy: "Miss, please spare the little one, the little one won't dare again."

Baochai was just joking with Yinger, and didn't mean to punish her seriously, so she smiled and said, "Set the meal, I'll go see my father after dinner."

All of a sudden the little girl set out the rice, Baochai took a look and saw that it was all light food, and thought it was very palatable, so he ate a big bowl of rice porridge with green stems, and some sour side dishes, and drank a few mouthfuls of vegetarian food. Tofu soup, I put down the bowl when I felt full, and the rest of the meal was shared among the girls in the room.

After dinner, Baochai took Ying'er out of the room. When she came out, she was illuminated by the noon sun. The mind is clear and the eyes are bright, and the whole body is comfortable.

Coming out of the yard, bypassing a small garden, and walking slowly along the corridors on both sides, Baochai was thinking about the things written in the princess's biography while walking, full of envy and longing.

There is actually a woman in the world who can live with such elegance. Baochai felt that her vision was too narrow before, and she was even more stupid. She didn't know that even a woman can live by her own heart. She used to persuade her sisters Those women in China should pay attention to needlework female red, and it is really stupid to say that reading has changed their temperament, but she has trapped herself, so why should she say that she is sending me to Qingyun? Her ambition is not the same as that princess It's so funny that people don't even want to take a look at it.

That Princess Tianrui changed the fate of a dynasty with her own power and controlled the abolition and establishment of the king. How much will and talent should this have? During this period, the common people lived in prosperity and peace, and the court finances became more and more lenient. That's all, but she was able to achieve a harmonious married life, filial sons and daughters, and respect from brothers and sisters.

What kind of luck, what kind of talent, what kind of great wisdom can do this, not to mention women, how many men in the world can do it?

Baochai smiled. While she was envious, she was also very grateful to the princess.

Because of her, the daughter in this world has seen a different scenery, no longer confined to the backyard. After so many decades of subtle influence, the folk customs have become more open, women can also go out to the streets, and even women show their faces in public Work to make money, stand side by side with men, live freely and freely.

Compared with the previous life, Baochai likes the current world more.

Her heart was full of joy, as if it was about to overflow her chest, she wanted to shout out, I, Baochai Xue, will not depend on anyone's arrangements in this life, even if I don't depend on anyone, I will live a comfortable life.

After the joy was over, Baochai began to worry about his father again.

Later she thought, the world has changed, and her father probably won't pass away again.

Walking with this thought in mind, when he reached the main room, his head was actually sweating slightly.

Baochai was standing at the door, and a little girl had already gone in to report. A moment later, a girl opened the curtain and smiled at Baochai: "Miss is here, the master let the girl in."

Baochai took a look at the girl, she looked familiar, and thought carefully that it was Tongfu, her mother's girl, and said with a smile, "Sister Tongfu, how is father today?"

"Okay."

When Baochai entered the house, she felt her eyes brighten up. When she took a closer look, the house was really different. The big windows on both sides were not pasted with gauze, but large transparent glass, through which the sun shines in. , making the inside of the room as bright and warm as the outside.

She only glanced at it twice, then hurried inside, entered the inner room, saw her father leaning against the bed with a sick face, with two pillows stuffed behind her, and her mother wearing a light blue dress full of flowers. sit aside.

When the two saw Baochai coming in, they both smiled kindly.

Xue Hong waved to Baochai: "Baochai, come and sit down."

Baochai walked over slowly and greeted Ann without courtesy, and then sat down on the chair next to Xue's mother: "Father is well, and my daughter can't be filial in front of father's bed these days, and I feel really sorry."

"My son, it's hard for you." Xue's mother hugged Baochai beside her: "You are also suffering from three diseases and five disasters. It is enough if you have this kind of heart. Your father has a mother and your brother here. How can you work hard?" you."

Xue Hong also said: "It's time to take good care of your body, and you won't be afraid of being exposed to the sun when you run here at noon."

Baochai smiled: "I haven't been out of the house for a long time, so I should have basked in the sun."

Speaking of this, Xue Hong sighed again: "It's hard for my son's filial piety. When I changed the windows and installed glass in my original home, I said that I should install the glass in your house first. You always shirk it and only say that the elders are uneasy. How can you do that?" Dare to enjoy it first, but had no choice but to change the big glass in the main room first. Later, I couldn't get up because of illness. The family didn't start work for fear of worrying me. When I got up, I asked a craftsman to put you and Pan Glass windows were replaced in my son’s house, and my son could bask in the sun in the house at that time.”

"It's very unnecessary." Baochai declined with a smile. Her parents didn't know how much money it took to install the glass in the house. If she installed the glass, it would cost more: "Father and mother can enjoy it. Can be so extravagant."

She said a word, which made Xue Hong laugh, and lovingly caressed Baochai's head: "My son Chunxiao, you are worried about money. In fact, it is very unnecessary. This glass is cheap today, and now it is just a piece of glass. It is also necessary to replace the glass windows in the whole house."

Baochai was even more amazed. She remembered that in her previous life, the glass kang screen at sister Feng's house in Jia's mansion was already a rarity, and the full-length mirror in Baoyu's room was filled with money in exchange for it. The girl in the room was even more cautious, because the glass is worthless here.
