Xing Xiuyan's Life in the Red Mansion
Chapter 11
When Xing Xiuyan woke up, she blinked blankly and looked out habitually, wanting to see if it was dawn outside, but at a glance, she only saw the red silk tent.She froze for a few seconds before she realized, oh, now she is not in Gusu, but Jia's.
The bed curtain was lifted, and the gold needle and jade thread said with a smile: "Young lady is awake? You woke up very early. The second grandma hasn't woken up yet either!"
"That's right, the Second Mistress usually wakes up at this time, but now that the Second Mistress is pregnant, the old lady has sent a special message to ask the Second Mistress to sleep a little longer every morning, and she will only be allowed to wake up at Chenshi!"
Xing Xiuyan stood up, Jinzhenyuxian wanted to help her dress, Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "I will do it myself. You can tell me more about the affairs of the mansion, I just came, I don't know anything." I put on my clothes.
Jin Zhen smiled, "Let Yuxian tell the girl, she knows a lot. I'll go fetch hot water for the girl."
Yuxian said with a smile, "What does the girl want to know?"
Xing Xiuyan asked: "When does the old lady in the house get up? What do the other girls usually do?"
Yuxian said now: "The old lady is getting old, she wakes up a lot at night, and she wants to sleep a little longer in the morning, and usually only gets up at three o'clock. Tete postponed the greeting time for half an hour. From this time, the girls also greeted the old lady first and had breakfast with the old lady. Afterwards, if the old lady was happy, they would talk to the old lady. Several girls invited their husbands. In recent years, the girls have grown up. The second grandmother said that the girls should also learn how to be a housekeeper, so in the morning, most of the girls follow the second grandmother. At noon, the girls and The second master Bao always eats at the old lady's. There is nothing to do in the afternoon, and the girls can do their own things. In the evening, they also eat with the old lady. The second grandmother also said yesterday that the girl and the second girl should act together That's it. I thought, the second girl will come to find the girl later. The second grandma is really kind to the girl!"
Xing Xiuyan smiled, she also felt that Wang Xifeng was too kind to her.
"Girl, the wash water is ready, let's wash up, girl!" Jin Zhen said with a smile. "this"
After washing up, Xing Xiuyan sat in front of the dressing table, took out the face cream she made and wiped it on. The golden needle smiled and said, "The girl has really good skin. By the way, this is the rose rouge made by Master Bao. You can use it." a little?"
Xing Xiuyan's heart moved, besides being a friend of women, Jia Baoyu is also an amateur expert in beauty products.He made the rouge himself, it should be good!
Jin Zhen opened a kiln box, picked a little with a hairpin, and melted it with water. Xing Xiuyan wiped a little on her lips, and then put a little on her cheeks. She looked in the mirror and smiled, "It's really good." It's better if she makes it herself, all the products she makes are made from natural flowers, maybe pearl powder or something is added in it!
Jin Zhen smiled and said, "Second Master Bao made rouge, which is not far from the ones from outside! Let me comb the girl's hair. What kind of hairstyle does the girl want?" Jin Zhen opened a box while talking, "Look, girl What?"
Xing Xiuyan looked at it, the jewelry in this box was not her own, she didn't have so many good things.Jin Zhen smiled and said: "This is prepared by the second grandma for the girl. I think this hairpin is pretty good. The girl's hair is black and thick. It is not good to wear too much jewelry. Why don't you just wear this red gold hairpin? It looks good. The girl thinks How?" Jin Zhen combed Xing Xiuyan into a cloud-like bun, picked a red gold hairpin and gestured on her head.
Xing Xiuyan looked in the mirror, she was indeed good, it seems that the two little maids that Wang Xifeng picked for her were very good.Alas, why did Wang Xifeng take a fancy to me?In Dream of the Red Chamber, did Xing Xiuyan and Wang Xifeng meet each other?Oh, the first eighty chapters didn't exist, and I don't know if there are the last forty chapters.It's really puzzling!
"Well, that's it, you have a good eye." Xing Xiuyan nodded and smiled.
Yuxian came in with two plates of snacks, "Girl, let's have some snacks first!"
Xing Xiuyan nodded, "Thank you very much." It's only six o'clock now, the old lady won't get up until after eight o'clock, and she won't have breakfast until nine o'clock at least, if she doesn't eat at this time, is she still hungry?
Xing Xiuyan drank hot water and ate a few pieces of snacks.Not to mention, this Jia Mansion's dim sum tastes really good, this red bean cake is better than all the red bean cakes she has eaten together in her two lifetimes, sweet but not greasy.Unlike those red bean cakes eaten by later generations, it is so sweet!
But no matter how delicious it was, Xing Xiuyan put down her chopsticks after eating only a few yuan. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Seeing that it was still early, she simply took out the needlework from the box and started sewing.Wang Xifeng treated her so well, and she couldn't repay her, so she might as well make more apron clothes for the child in her belly!
The golden needle and the jade thread met each other, and they looked at each other with a smile. The girl is not a troublemaker, and she didn't get carried away with second grandma's liking. This is indeed a good thing for them.
I don't know how long it took, but Xing Xiuyan's half-embroidered apron in the shape of five poisons was suddenly picked up, "My sister's needlework is really good, this gecko and spider embroidery is lifelike, my sister is for the nephew in the second sister-in-law's belly." Are you ready?"
Xing Xiuyan looked up and saw that Jia Yingchun was looking through her embroidered apron, "Second sister is here, Jinzhen, hurry up and serve tea."
Seeing that it was still early, Jia Yingchun didn't refuse.
Xing Xiuyan said with a smile, "Yes. I don't have anything, and I have nothing else to give away except this needle and thread."
Jia Yingchun said with a smile: "Don't belittle yourself. The girls in my room saw the purses you gave me and they all liked them very much. It's hard for you to come up with those tricks. They have never seen those tricks. I think Ah, my sister's craftsmanship is no worse than that of Huiwen."
Xing Xiuyan smiled and lowered her head, "Second sister was joking, I can't compare to Huiwen. It's just some gadgets."
"Sister Xing is wrong. The Hui pattern is actually nothing special, but the embroidered freehand landscape on the fabric, coupled with the untimely death of Hui Niang, and the future generations will wear it, it seems that the Hui pattern is special. Last night, Qingwen's hoof also said that Sister Xing's craftsmanship is exquisite, and she can't compare to it." While speaking, Lin Daiyu also wobbled in.
Xing Xiuyan and Jia Yingchun rushed to greet her, "Why is sister Lin here? But the old lady is awake?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "No, it's just that I got up early today and didn't know what to do. I thought that sister Xing would come here on the first day, so I came to see. Second sister, I think third sister and the others are awake too, why don't you go and give it to me first?" Greetings, mother-in-law!"
Jia Yingchun nodded, "Yes! Every morning, we have to greet the second wife first, and then the second wife will take us to greet the old lady. Since the eldest wife doesn't live here, she is exempted from paying her respects. Just go there on the first and fifteenth day of every month to say hello. Let's go!"
Xing Xiuyan was a little surprised, but remembering that the Jia family's situation of no distinction between superiority and inferiority was not formed in a day or two. Many people in later generations have speculated about the reasons behind it.who knows!
The three of them walked towards Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang lived in the east wing of Rongxi Hall. When they went, Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun had already arrived. When they saw them coming, they stood up quickly. , Xue Baochai was the oldest and a relative, so she sat quietly all the time.Mrs. Wang sat at the top, and when she saw them coming, she smiled all over her face, "Mother-in-law, is the second elder brother here yet?"
Mrs. Wang beckoned Lin Daiyu to sit in front of her, "Xi Ren told me this morning that Baoyu was a little noisy last night, and he didn't get up this morning. I told him not to come here, just go and greet the old lady. Alas, If Baoyu is half as diligent as you, I can rest assured."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said nothing, she always remembered what Sister Feng said to her that night when she came to Jia's mansion, that Baoyu was the stepmother's rebel, and if she wanted to get along well with her stepmother, she had to stay away from him.
But Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "Second brother is still young. In fact, I blame sister Xing." Looking at Xing Xiuyan's surprised eyes, Jia Tanchun said with a smile, "It's not the purse that sister Xing gave us. The fan cover caused trouble. After I went back last night, the girls in my house also made a fuss for a long time."
Although Xing Xiuyan had a smile on her face, she felt disapproving in her heart. If you want to please Mrs. Wang, please please, why use yourself as a cover!
Jia Yingchun glanced at Jia Tanchun without a trace, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, is the concubine's garden soon to be built? Is the concubine's visit soon too?"
Sure enough, when Mrs. Wang's pride, Jia Yuanchun, was mentioned, Mrs. Wang became even happier, "Well, the garden is almost ready. What the master means is that all the plaques and couplets inside are empty, and I will take my disciples and Qingke in to have a look at it some other day." Look, draw it up first."
Lin Daiyu laughed, "Why don't you let the second elder brother go too!"
Jia Tanchun also meant the same thing, so he might as well be half a step behind, and hurriedly said: "Yes. When the eldest sister was at home, it was the elder sister who enlightened the second brother. The eldest sister also misses the second brother the most. If the second brother comes Named, big sister must be happy to see you that day."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang realized that the idea was really good, and she nodded happily, "Yes, I've made a note of it. Tell the master tonight." Then she smiled again. "There are so many places in the garden, Baoyu is too busy to come here by himself, I have to let you sisters go in and have a look around later, and give them a name."
At this moment, Lin Daiyu and Sanchun were overjoyed, and even Xue Baochai, who was always dignified and prudent in front of others, had a gleam of joy in his eyes.Xing Xiuyan was also faintly excited.Grand View Garden, the magnificent Grand View Garden in Dream of Red Mansions!Of course, it's not called that name yet.Even if she wasn't a fan of Red Mansions, she would still love Grand View Garden like thunder!In her previous life, she only glanced at the TV a few times, but now she finally has the opportunity to see the true appearance of the Grand View Garden with her own eyes. She couldn't help but be excited!
