The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Since Sister Feng and Ping'er were in love with each other, she said the good words again, and Ping'er finally raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Miss, you are not afraid to let me go. I won't listen to you in the future?" It was the time when he was lazy at the beginning, Wen Yan didn't even raise his eyelids, and said, "How dare you?"

Ping'er giggled, and got up by herself, Sister Feng walked out of the quilt slowly with her hands in her arms, went to the dressing table and looked at the mirror, she felt her face was charming, like a newly-married one, she immediately blushed, and saw Ping'er again Smiling and about to comb her hair, the red mark on her neck was like a red mark, her face became more and more unbearable, and she said calmly, "You don't cover up your clothes so that people can see it, what do you look like?"

Ping'er looked in the mirror and found the marks on her body. She bent down and lowered her head, and whispered in Sister Feng's ear, "Girl, was last night better or worse than before?"

Sister Feng blushed all of a sudden, opened her hands and said, "Anyway, it's just one night, what's the good?" It is very harmonious, and the place of bliss and joy is completely different from the previous one. After recollecting it, Sister Feng felt that the aftertaste was long, and it was inevitable to linger. After all, she was embarrassed to say it, so she turned her face again and urged Ping'er to go out. Ping'er came to wash and dress herself, and after a while Ping'er came in again, her clothes were neat and tightly covered, and she didn't even show her face at all, so Sister Feng ordered someone to call Ping'er's family over as if nothing had happened.She wanted to let Ping'er's family go out, but Ping'er said instead: "They're all released, if I run away with the money, what will you do to restrain me?"

Sister Feng sneered and said, "Is there anyone who dares to chase after my fugitive slave?" Seeing that Ping'er just shook her head and refused, thinking that she still suspected that she didn't believe her, she was getting angry. To Ping'er, Ping'er took the ticket but refused to leave immediately, and asked again: "I'm a woman, it's always inconvenient to travel outside, and I need to ask the girl for a few people, preferably male servants."

Sister Feng was not in a good mood, and said sourly: "When you do something for me, and it's done, you'll have a good home for you. Don't worry, better days are to come."

Ping'er glanced at her, smiled lightly and said: "It's all over, girl still doesn't understand my heart?"

Sister Feng's heart moved, and she forced a smile and said, "What's the matter, at my age, I don't watch this anymore."

Ping'er said: "Girl pretending not to understand at this time, that's really boring."

Sister Feng said embarrassingly: "Understood so what, the two of us pretend to be Phoenix for a while, the family knows, and understand that I am an abandoned woman, that's all, do you really think about it for a long time? You are outside, if you fall in love with me for a while If you fell in love with a man and have a relationship with him, how can I stop you from marrying?"

Seeing that she was pretending to be magnanimous and insincere, Ping'er smiled lightly and said, "That depends on what the girl wants. The girl wants to last long, so naturally I... will also last forever."

Sister Feng's complexion changed, and she leaned forward unconsciously and said, "Think carefully, if you tell me now that you want to get married in the future, I won't stop you. If you say this first now, in the future... I will not stop you." You are not allowed to marry."

Ping'er laughed and said, "Girl, you don't need to test me. Since I said this, I naturally thought about it a long time ago."

Sister Feng said slowly: "Then you have to make a written statement saying that you will serve me all your life, otherwise, I won't believe it."

Seeing her like this, Ping'er was just amused, and stretched out his hand and said, "Miss, I'm afraid it's been a long time since I wrote this word? Take it and I'll press it with my fingerprints."

Sister Feng was not annoyed when she told her the truth. She got up and took out a piece of paper from a small locked box. What if I lost one?"

Ping'er just felt it was funny, so he pressed both of them. Suddenly, he pressed the palm prints of both hands on each of the papers, and teased Sister Feng again: "Miss, can you rest assured?"

Sister Feng narrowed her eyes with a smile and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, you go, I'll ask the housekeeper to take you to have a look, I'll give you a few shops facing the street, and a small house outside the east gate, where you will live in the future." There, five days, no, I’ll come here to say hello once in three days. If you have anything to do, you can come to me directly. I told them, you just come in through the corner gate, and you won’t be stopped. When I’m not around, you The same goes for someone else."

Ping'er said with a smile: "Then I come to pay my respects every day, the girl will not despise me?"

Sister Feng said: "It's a bit too frequent, but seeing that you have served me for so many years, I reluctantly agree."

Ping'er smiled and went out with the deed.

Mrs. Wang discussed with Jia Zheng all night, and the husband and wife made up their minds. After all, they called Daiyu, comforted them with kind words, and tactfully said about sharing the money.Daiyu was full of displeasure, so she had no choice but to say, "Let it be arranged by the master and wife." He ordered Zijuan to take the key to open the box and move things. After boasting again, the few here were so angry, but there was nothing they could do.

Jia Lian didn't know about this, but suddenly saw Xia Jingui coming over happily to ask for credit, asked carefully, and couldn't help frowning: "When the family was separated, we shared more money here, and now it doesn't seem very good to ask the mansion for money."

Xia Jingui was at the moment when he was proud, and unconsciously brought out his usual style, and opened his mouth to curse: "What's so good? It's true that the ready-made money is in hand, otherwise the government will not have enough expenses, and that person is pointing at me." Dowry? You don’t think this is good, is it okay to use your wife’s dowry to subsidize the family?”

Jia Lian saw that she was suddenly so angry, she had a bit of Sister Feng's posture, and her heart suddenly jumped. It's just that he is different now, and he doesn't show it on his face. Is this hot? You are not like this on weekdays."

After hearing this, Xia Jingui turned her face away, and said softly, "Aren't I worried about you for the second master? Now that the family has no income, but the expenditure is still so much, so many people, where do they come from? Without money, even the servants look down on you. Look at that Lai Da, now his nose is not his nose, his eyes are not his eyes, because his son is an official, our master is not an official anymore, so use Zhang as an example. I can't see him like that!"

Jia Lian said: "He can't be regarded as our family's son, so what can you do with him? We can't say that we will rely on him for financial support in the future."

Xia Jingui didn't take it seriously, but didn't say any more.

Jia Lian had his own calculations in his heart, coaxed her a few words, and found an excuse that night to stay out and not go home.

Daiyu was so angry for no reason that she lost her yearning for Jia's mother a little bit, came to Baochai again in hatred, and complained to her: "I used to think that the eldest uncle and the second elder brother Lian still had some knowledge. Yes, why are one or two of them so short-sighted now, they have no income, and in the future, they can't rely on Second Uncle and Baoyu to offend them for nothing, what good is there?"

Baochai persuaded: "You marry Baoyu for nothing but a false name. What are you doing for his family? According to me, first, you should pretend to be sick quickly, and don't be housekeeper. Second, you should also be filial." For those who share the house, we should simply separate the courtyard from Baoyu, and even live in the garden. We are closer."

Daiyu said to her: "I know your heart. Baoyu wants to be filial, and I will be filial. I live close, and you are not allowed to move."

Baochai stumbled and said, "Who do you think I am? I just want to see you more often, so that I can take care of you nearby. You see, you are so thin that you are out of shape now. I won't see you again every day." When I come to you, I don't even know whether you are cold or hot, sleepy or hungry, and I miss you, don't you feel bad?" She said aggrievedly, and followed Daiyu's usual way, stretching out her hand Pulling Daiyu's sleeve, Daiyu's heart softened when she saw her, and she said, "I know exactly what your plans are. It's the same if you live together!"

Baochai said with a smile all over her face, "Yes, I will never move you, even if you tell me to, I will not move, okay?"

Daiyu glanced at her and saw that she was in a hurry to meet her, the belt was still half untied, she smiled slightly, tied it up for her again, and said worryingly: "I thought that my thinking was bad enough, but I didn't think about it. The family is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money goes down, it is just not enough to fill it up, what my father gave me was considered rich, but now it seems that it is not enough."

Baochai frowned and said, "Why do you ask you to fill in the dowry as soon as you come in? Don't be too sincere."

Daiyu whispered: "It's not that I'm being honest, it's just that I can't help it. I was at my wife's place the other day and heard that people from the Zhen family in Jiangnan came to deliver things. Although my wife politely refused, but seeing her face, she didn't like it." Great, when I thought about it, she was probably reluctant to part with the little money and wanted to save things for others. If we had to accept it, wouldn’t our previous thoughts be in vain? Why don’t I pay a little, and the wife sees that the family is okay. If you can live on, you won’t be in a hurry to accept other people’s things, so let’s just muddle through this for a while.”

Baochai suddenly regretted: "Why did I marry you here in a muddle? There are so many bad things inside and out!"

Daiyu said with a smile: "A wealthy family, which one is not like this? His family is not bad, otherwise why would my father agree to the marriage so readily?"

Baochai said: "Uncle Lin is always calculating." Even so, he was unhappy in his heart, because when the matter was not accomplished, he only wanted it to be done, but when it was done, he couldn't help but feel that Daiyu had been wronged. , I have to complain and blame myself, and get angry with myself sullenly.

When Daiyu saw her, she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, my father has already warned the second uncle. He is reasonable, and as long as he can get by on the surface, let's talk about it later." She also teased Baochai that she was good at it. Question: "You haven't sold those lands yet? I heard from the master that the Holy Majesty has already approved the land for the palace, which is next to the land you bought. This increase is really great."

Baochai said with a smile: "Nowadays, several officials have come to inquire about the price. I will sell it when it rises a little more. Every time I come back, I will always make three times the profit. I will use this money to buy some houses in the outer city. There are more and more officials, and the houses in the city are becoming more and more beautiful, I will buy more, and you can also persuade Uncle Lin to buy some."

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "After I told him that time, he bought it, and even I bought it. The land beside the palace has more than tripled in value. Why did you sell it so early?"

Baochai said: "If you sell it earlier, everyone can be friendly. At a later date, no matter how expensive the land is, if someone from the prince's mansion comes to buy it with me, how dare I ask him for the market price? Get rid of this trouble as soon as possible. There’s no end to money anyway.”

Daiyu laughed and said, "Then I'll sell it too, you watch for me, and if there's any news, send someone to report."

Baochai stared at her and said with a smile: "I have news, I will come to you in person and give you a good 'squeak', okay?"

Daiyu blushed inexplicably from her laughter, clapped her hand and said, "I hate it!"
