[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Pinxiu sent Jinping out, waited for people to walk away, stood at the door in a daze for a while, turned around and was about to go back to the room, when he caught sight of Siqi approaching from the corner of his eyes, he stopped again, and waited for Siqi to approach, He asked with a smile, "Which gust of wind brought you here?"

Siqi stopped in front of Pinxiu, did not answer Pinxiu's question, looked at the room behind Pinxiu, and asked, "Is Miss Six in the room?"

Pinxiu let the chess player into the room, and replied: "Miss will not be here. After breakfast, the girl took Mama Guan and Sazhi to the wife's side. Yesterday, the girl said that she would go out with the wife today. I don’t know when I’ll come back.” Stretching out his hand to stroke the back of his neck, he turned his head, “I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t close the window when I went to bed last night. Not only did I have a stiff neck when I woke up early, but I also had a headache, so I didn’t Go with the girl and stay at home to look after the house. Are you here to find our girl?"

Siqi twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, showing a slight smile, but didn't speak.The two entered the room, and after taking their seats, Pinxiu brought a plate of almond peanut nougat and asked Siqi to eat: "Try this candy, this is a few days ago when the girl went to my wife's place and heard that there is fresh milk in the kitchen. , specially asked to make it. After the girl gave it to me, I have been reluctant to eat it, you are lucky."

Siqi took one and put it in his mouth. It was crispy and sweet, with a strong milky aroma, very delicious.After eating one, she couldn't help but put another one in her mouth, and after eating one after another, she stopped after seeing half the plate was eaten.Pinxiu poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Take a sip of tea to wash away the sweetness in your mouth."

Siqi took it, took a sip, then held the teacup in his hand, staring at the tea leaves floating on the tea in the cup.Pinxiu looked at Siqi, and asked: "Are you here looking for me, or our girl?" Seeing that Siqi just held his teacup and said nothing, she couldn't help being anxious: "We've always been good friends, there is What can't you say? You have a straightforward temper, so just say what you want, what else is there to hide between us?"

Siqi put down his teacup, forced a smile, and said, "Look at you, I have something to hide, but I just feel a little embarrassed. I came here to see if you have any excess hair oil. If there is a surplus, our side will soon run out."

"How can it be used up so quickly?" Pinxiu exclaimed, "It's almost used up before half of this month, how do you use it?"

Siqi said angrily: "How can I use it? I just use it normally like everyone else. We don't have one more head or one more face than others. Anyway, this month's quota is used up. Next month There is still such a long time before the distribution, even if we don’t use fat and rice, but we must comb our hair, right?” As long as you comb your hair, hair oil is essential.

"Your quotas have been deducted? If so, why don't you ask the old lady to make decisions for you!" Apart from the reason that the quotas were not issued in full, Pinxiu couldn't think of any reason why things would be used up so quickly .The monthly distribution is actually not limited, because I am afraid that there will be insufficient supplies, so I will try my best to make a little more when I distribute it, so as not to be unable to connect with the new distribution when I run out.

Siqi sneered and said: "They don't dare to deduct the quota. The full amount is paid in full, but the four girls who are raised by the old lady, even if our girl is the oldest, even if the things look the same, I'm afraid they will be delivered to the old lady." The one in the hands of our girls is the worst one. The girls are paid another penny every month, but the money is not delivered to the girls, but directly to the compradors outside, who will send the things Buy it in and then distribute it to each house. But you also know the quality of our comprador. Although there is no empty time every month, it has never been delivered according to the day. Where did you get unusable things to fool people, and in the end the girl had to use her monthly money to buy them now."

Sighing, Siqi said helplessly: "Although this is my home, there is no way our girls don't spend money if we want to do something in our home. In fact, even if our girls don't do anything, sometimes, this There is no money left. Our girl only has two or two months of money every month. Except for a part of it to buy oil and rice, most of it is distributed like this. Therefore, although it is not stretched every month, there is a surplus Time is really rare. I don't want to complain for our girl, but I can't help but feel wronged for her. The third girl said that the second master Lian is getting married, and suggested that several girls pool their money to buy a gift for the second master Lian as a congratulatory gift. So once our girl's monthly money for this month was paid out, there was only four qian silver left. The hair oil and rouge bought with these four qian silver were taken home by our girl's nanny, and now it is short , I have no choice but to go to Miss Six to look for it.”

"In our side, girls don't care about things, and you know our girl's temperament. She is the most peaceful. I only have one pair of eyes, one pair of hands, and one mouth. I can't see or control it at all. I am the most restless It's the girl's nanny, she is the mother, and I can't say anything about her, so it's a mess, it's really a headache."

"So that's how it is." After listening to Siqi's explanation, Pinxiu asked you to use it first.You don't need to worry, the second girl is just a temporary embarrassment, it will be fine after this month, and next month, the second girl will be free.I'm afraid Second Master Lian will only marry this once in his life, and when he gets married next time in the mansion, he will be Second Master Bao. I don't know how many years later, so Second Miss doesn't have to worry too much. "Then got up and opened the cabinet, took out a portion of fat and rice from it, and put it in front of Siqi: "Here, take these things and use them first, if they are not enough, come back to me later. "

Faced with Pinxiu's reaction, Siqi showed a disappointed look on his face.She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She sighed imperceptibly, thanked her, and left with her things.Pinxiu watched Siqi leave, sat down at the table, her thoughts drifted away, and she was in a daze.

When it was time to light the lanterns, Luo Chun came back.As soon as she entered the room, Luochun yelled for Pinxiu to make a pot of Divine Comedy Licorice Tangerine Peel Xiaoshi Tea, saying that she had eaten too much dinner at Mrs. Xing's and her stomach was a little bloated.Pinxiu hurriedly made tea, and took a few hawthorn pills to pass to Luochun.

Luo Chun took it, peeled off the outer layer of wax paper wrapped with hawthorn pills, put it in his mouth, and asked casually: "You are at home today to look after the house, what happened at home?"

"Don't even mention it, girl, something really happened today." Pinxiu told Luochun about Siqi's visit in detail.After Luochun heard this, she was silent for a while, before asking: "Pinxiu, do you think Siqi came here to borrow hair oil and fat rice?"

Pinxiu shook her head, and said with certainty: "Probably not." Luo Chun smiled and said, "Then what do you think she means?"

"I think..." Pinxiu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Luochun's face.Luo Chun's face was expressionless, and she couldn't see any clues.She thought about it, and said boldly: "I think it's too small for Siqi to borrow things this time. Her ultimate goal should be to hope that the girl can help the second girl."

"Then how do you think she wants me to help Second Sister?" Luo Chun continued to ask.Pinxiu lowered her head and thought for a while and said: "The hair oil on the girl's side is bought by Sha Zhi's father, so the things from the girl's side are good every month, and there is no need to spend extra money to buy them. The girl should not be public about this matter, but Siqi should have gotten the news from Aunt Wang who is next to his wife, so she should be thinking of handling the purchase of the second girl like the girl. This is the minimum requirement for Siqi, if you can , she also hopes that the girl will talk to the wife and persuade the second girl's nanny."

Hearing Pinxiu's words, Luochun looked at her with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "So you heard the undertones of Siqi, so why are you still pretending to be confused in front of her?"

"Look at what the girl said, it seems like I'm so bad." Pinxiu said coquettishly, shrugged her little nose, and said: "In addition to using the girl's share, I can lend the second girl's head fat and rice for the matter. Make decisions for you when the girl is away, and how dare I agree to other things without the girl's permission. At that time, I will take care of everything here, but the girl ignores it. If I don't, I'll put myself in it. I think Si Qi actually came here this time to beg the girl, but the girl is not here. Since she beat around the bush and didn't make it clear, I can only pretend not to understand." Then he asked curiously: "But, girl, are you going to help the second girl? ?”

Luochun picked up the lid of the teacup in his hand, brought it to his mouth and took a sip of Xiaoshi tea, shook his head after a while and said, "I don't want to get involved in this matter." Sighing, he explained, "If what I expected is not bad , this matter is about playing chess, she should be the one who is good at making ideas, and the second sister doesn't know about it. If it is the second sister's request, then it is understandable for me to intervene, but... the second sister has a heart for me, so I rushed to help , At that time, it is definitely not just the second sister's gratitude. Besides, we are all raised by the old lady and raised by the old lady. The first thing about the second sister's room should be reported to the old lady. "

"That's what I said, but, just... the second girl is also very pitiful." Although it is said that the girls were raised by Jia's mother, how could Pinxiu who was with Luochun not know what was going on, Jia If the mother really paid attention to it, the Yingchun room would not be what it is now.We all live together, each girl has a general idea of ​​what the house is like, Pinxiu still sympathizes with Yingchun, so she said: "After all, the old lady is getting old, and she has many granddaughters, so there are times when she can't take care of her for a while. The girl and the second girl are real sisters, so why don't you just watch the second girl being bullied..."

Luochun let out a long breath, and interrupted Pinxiu: "Pinxiu, you have to remember that no one else has it as much as you have it. As far as the second sister's current situation is concerned, she is the only one who stands up first. Only then can I talk about other things, otherwise, it will be useless no matter how hard others are on the sidelines. If the second sister can't understand this truth, then even if I help her deal with her nanny, there will still be other people in her room. Mess."

"No matter what, the second elder sister is the master, and as a girl, she is regarded as a coquettish guest at home. Although the old lady doesn't care about us, but when it comes out, we were raised by the old lady and grew up by her side, so don't care about us. Who else is behind, the old lady is standing behind us. So during this period, if there is anything in our house, the old lady will definitely decide for us. But it seems that the second sister does not understand this very well. And The slaves in the mansion have always been weak when they are strong, and strong when they are weak. As the second sister, as the master, she can't stand up on her own, and she will soften first. After a long time, she will get used to it, so she won't think about letting her go. She stood upright, so she lost the respect of being the master. It is a very sad thing to entrust your life to other people's "conscience", and in this world, others can help you for a while, but you can't Help you forever! If the second sister can't understand this, then her life will not change no matter what."

Pinxiu made Luo Chun's words pale, but after thinking about it carefully and savoring it carefully, he had to admit that Luo Chun's words made some sense.She originally wanted to argue with Luochun, saying that behind Tanchun there is Aunt Zhao who is favored by Jia Zheng. Although the relationship between the two of them is not close, if Tanchun is bullied, Aunt Zhao will definitely turn upside down if she finds out "Xichun is a girl from the East Mansion, and the people around her are all sent by the East Mansion, so it's not easy to neglect her here; as for Luochun, she is a girl from the eldest son, and Mrs. Xing has been watching her all the time standing behind her; only There is nothing behind Yingchun, and she is still a concubine.But when Luo Chun said this, she suddenly felt that these words were too feeble, so she kept silent.
