[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

When Madam Xing saw Luochun coming in, she waved her hand, beckoning her to sit beside her, saw the holding box in the hand of Pinxiu who was following her, and said: "What is this? Is it for me? You Come to me, what are we doing between mother and daughter?"

Luochun sat down next to Mrs. Xing, motioned to Pinxiu to present the holding box containing cherries, and said with a smile: "The people below sent it for me to try it out. I think it's already out of the market this season, so it's a It is relatively rare, so I brought it to my mother to taste."

"You really have a heart." Mrs. Xing looked at the bright red cherries in the holding box, reached out and twirled one into her mouth, and said with a smile: "These things are only liked by you children, but I am average. Go back and eat it yourself." After finishing speaking, he said worriedly: "But don't be greedy, although this thing is rare, but it is not in season, and eating too much is not good for your health, so it's better to try something new."

The Jia family's way of keeping in good health pays attention to not eating too much food that is not in season. Although Luo Chun, who has the habits of later generations, doesn't think so, she doesn't show it. She just nods in agreement. "Mother, since this food can't be eaten too much, but it can't be kept for a long time, it would be inappropriate to distribute it to the people below, why not..."

Mrs. Xing understood Luochun's meaning, put away the smile on her face, and said: "You want to be a good person, but I didn't stop you, so you can just do it, why do you have to drag me? Anyway, I I don't welcome people in the mansion, and I don't have the patience for people to accept my favor."

Luo Chun snuggled up to Mrs. Xing's side, and said with a smile: "Mother's words are embarrassing to me. I don't want to be a good person, but it's a pity to see things that can't be eaten. It's a waste to throw them away. As for pulling Mother, it is because I, a junior, got good things. Apart from distributing them to my brothers and sisters, it would be unreasonable not to be filial to the elders, but if I really want to share them in each house, such a little thing is not enough. If my mother acts, it will be much cheaper than me .”

Mrs. Xing reached out her hand and tapped Luochun's forehead, and said with a smile, "I mean, so that's the case, you're a cunning, you don't want to offend anyone, so you set your mind on me." Turning her head, she told Jinping who was beside her : "That's it, Jinping, you pick out two cherries brought by the girl, send one to the old lady, and send the other to Yingchun and their sisters..."

"Pick out another copy and send it to Brother Bao." Seeing Madam Xing drop Baoyu, Luo Chun hurriedly reminded her.Mrs. Xing sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about Baoyu. Even if you don't give it away, you don't have to worry that he won't have food. He follows the old lady. What good things can leave him? What the wife has, will lose him!"

"That's what I said, but what the old lady gave was given by the old lady, and the mother, you, the eldest aunt, gave it in another way." Luo Chun sighed: "Everyone says 'younger son, older grandson, old man What's more, the second brother Bao was born with jade, and he was born with abnormalities. The old lady looked at the second brother Bao like an eyeball. It's not like you don't know this, mother. I love you very much, why did you get confused about this? It’s just a little bit of food, and you don’t need to worry about it, you just need to order it, and it’s not expensive, and everyone is happy in the end. Why not!"

"Come on, come on, you are always right, I can't say no to you." Mrs. Xing shook her head helplessly, then turned to Jinping and said: "Jin Ping, you have heard everything, and you still don't do what the girl said. "Jing Ping agreed, stepped forward to take the holding box, took Wu Fu and Shuangxi and the little maids down to distribute the fruit.

During the conversation, it was time for dinner. Before dinner, Wang Baoshan's family bought all the cooked food from several well-made delicatessen in Beijing, and set a table full.Luochun tasted all of them, and felt that each had its own uniqueness. If it was homemade cooked food, it would not be easy to break out of it.And there is another key issue, that is, if you open a delicatessen, you may need a shop, whether you rent or buy, the price of the shop in Beijing is very high, so the investment is relatively large. Not to mention whether Mrs. Xing can afford the money here, after all, the time to pay back the capital is relatively long, which is a bit uneconomical.

After thinking about it for a while, Luochun gave up the plan to directly open a delicatessen, and decided that as a supplier, he would not do high-end, and give up the high-end route.The prepared cooked food is supplied to middle and low-end places such as restaurants, teahouses, and food stalls in Beijing. In this way, it is only necessary to set up a workshop for cooking food, and the investment is not large.As for the person in charge, Wang Baoshan's family was tentatively appointed, except for Qin Xian's family, Mrs. Xing and Luo Chun took the list of servants in the mansion, went through it for a long time, and probably decided on a few.

After discussing with Mrs. Xing, Luochun turned to Wang Shanbao's family who was standing quietly below and said: "Ms. Wang, this is probably what it is like. You and your family will go find a place to make cooked food first. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the city or outside the city, but convenient transportation and easy access to water should be satisfied, and you can figure out the rest.”

After giving instructions to Wang Shanbao's family, Wang Shanbao's family and Mrs. Xing will discuss the remaining trivial matters in Luochun. Seeing that it is getting late, she bids farewell to Mrs. Xing and prepares to go back to Jia Mu.Walking to the yard, Pinxiu went to call a car, Luochun suddenly remembered something, turned around and went back to the house, ready to go to the door with Mrs. Xing, the voices of Mrs. Xing and Wang Shanbao's family in the room came to her ears clearly.

"... Madam is really lucky. The girl is so smart and capable at such a young age. It's amazing. Looking around, the girls in the family are the youngest, but she is the most outstanding one. The rest is probably only a fraction of the girl. It is rare that the girl is so caring, no wonder everyone says that the girl is the mother's caring little padded jacket, which is absolutely true." This is from Wang Shanbao's family A slightly flattering voice.

"I'm useless, but thanks to her helping me." Mrs. Xing said with a slightly regretful voice: "It's just that no matter how capable, what's the use? After all, she is a girl, and she will eventually marry out in the future." To prevent old age, only a boy can be relied on for a lifetime.

The flattering of Wang Shanbao's family did not expect to be photographed on the horse's hoof. Seeing Mrs. Xing like this, she suddenly became poor at words. After a long silence, she said with a smile: "At the beginning, the second wife was an old mussel who gave birth to pearls. My wife is still a few years away from turning [-], and she might be pregnant at some point, and by then, a son and a daughter will make up the word "good", and it will not be complete."

Mrs. Xing shook her head, and said dryly: "I won't. You don't know, I once met a master who told my fortune, saying that my life was originally destined to be childless, but Luochun A pleasant surprise..."

Looking back on the past, Mrs. Xing really regretted the past, full of regret and remorse.Back then, she and Mrs. Jinxiang went to a temple on the outskirts of the city to offer incense, and when they were resting on the way back, they met a poorly dressed stranger.At that time, it was half out of curiosity and half out of boredom, so Mrs. Jinxiang and her invited someone to tell their fortunes and make horoscopes.This stranger vigorously promoted the "birth talisman" to the two of them, saying that this talisman was used to give birth to a boy. Mrs. Xing was dubious about this, because since she married into Jia's mansion, she begged to give birth to a son and a half daughter. Worshiping the Buddha, asking a doctor to take medicine, but it was a waste of money, but there was no result. It was not until later that Jia She and her had no more husband and wife affairs, that she gave up.Now let her spend 1000 taels of silver to buy this so-called talisman to give birth to a son. Li always felt that he was more like a liar, but he couldn't believe it.

Later, it was Mrs. Xing who saw Mrs. Jinxiang's face unchanged and took out 1000 taels of silver to buy this "childbirth charm". In order not to make Mrs. Jinxiang laugh, she thought of buying something from the other party to deal with it, but because The other party's charms were very expensive, and many of them were not practical for her, so she finally bought a "Yunkun Talisman" for 300 taels.Facing Mrs. Jinxiang's inquiry, at that time, Mrs. Xing also said with a smile that she wanted to have a daughter, because the daughter is the mother's caring "little padded jacket".At that time, the 300 taels of silver was really painful for Madam Xing.Who knew that after buying the talisman and returning home, Jia She, who had basically disappeared from her room, actually stepped into her door a few days later, and she didn't just cover the quilt and chat when she slept at night.

Afterwards, Mrs. Xing remembered the "Yunkun Talisman" bought with a lot of money, and quickly took it according to the instructions given by the other party at the time. Finally, she conceived in October and gave birth to Luochun. Later, she learned that Mrs. Jinxiang and Mrs. She gave birth to a baby boy, and she regretted it to death. Only then did she know what it means to be a real person without showing her face, but there is no regret medicine in this world, so no matter how much she regrets, it is useless, and since then, Jia She Although I occasionally come to rest in his room, they all sleep in their own places, and the two of them don't have sex any more. Under such circumstances, how can you let her conceive and have children?

It is naturally impossible for Mrs. Xing and Wang Baoshan's family to explain all these things, and she knows her own joys and sorrows.Sometimes, Mrs. Xing thought of what the stranger said about her original fate of being childless, and felt that having a daughter is already very good, and she should be content; The opportunity was in front of her eyes, but she just missed it so abruptly. Mrs. Xing was so regretful that she couldn't help herself, and her mood was very contradictory.

Although Wang Baoshan's family didn't understand the reason, she could still see how Jia She and Mrs. Xing got along with each other.I heard Mrs. Xing say that it is impossible for her to get pregnant again. Although Mrs. Xing did not specify the reason, but looking at Jia She's now having a young wife on the left and a young wife on the right, and the maids serving her are all young and fresh, and they are all beautifully dressed. She guessed a bit, but she still pretended to be confused, and tried her best to comfort her: "Madam, don't worry, there is no telling about the pregnancy. For example, the wife has been married into the mansion for so many years and there has been no movement. For another example, look at the second wife, who would have thought that the eldest son is about to get married, and she is so old, yet she has another child. So, it would be an exaggeration to say something now morning."

Seeing that Mrs. Xing did not raise her eyebrows because of her words, Wang Baoshan's eyes rolled, and he said: "Although it is said that the eldest girl is not a man, she will not be able to be an official in the future, but she may not be able to be the wife's reliance in the future. Far Don't talk about it, let's talk about it. Look at the current Concubine Liu. It seems that her mother, Mrs. He, only gave birth to her. Now you look at the scenery of Mrs. He, she has a daughter who is a concubine As the grandson of the king of the county, there are few people who can compare with him. At home, he is still the same as the old lady. It is said that she is the daughter of the first wife of the Rongguo Mansion, but in fact she is only the eldest daughter of the second room. It is much more fair and honest. Back then, the eldest girl of the second room could be elected into the palace just because she had a name in the mansion. The right and proper name of the long-term housewife is born, and the appearance and temperament are also first-class, and the future blessings are still uncertain!"

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up when she heard Wang Shanbao's family's words, she took up the conversation in a hurry, nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. Because girl Yuan was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she said she was born on the same day as the old Duke. , is a blessed person, so the mansion did not spare much effort to train her, but later on, she was selected into the palace. There are people chanting some poems in my ear, "The flowers are still in the spring, and the sky is bright and sunny". That's how the name "Luochun" came from. If you are in such a state, you will definitely be able to accomplish a lot in the future. Liu Yatou should also be in an abnormal state, let alone that, the future blessings are really hard to say..."

……

"Girl, the car has already been called, and I'm waiting outside." Pinxiu called the car back, saw Luo Chun standing at Mrs. Xing's door listening intently, walked over tiptoe, and whispered into Luo Chun's ear .

ah?Luo Chun came back to her senses and said: "Let's go." Then she turned around and walked out. After walking a few steps, she stopped and looked back. Through the glass window, she saw Mrs. Xing and Wang Baoshan's family. The silhouette of the person who was talking was vague, with a complicated expression on his face, looking back for a while, sighed secretly, and then walked away.
