The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Yuanchun was elected, and suddenly there was news from the palace, saying that today, Shang Enzhun's harem visits relatives, adding another layer of joy in Jia's house, but I am worried about Sister Feng, I don't know where to get the money, and recently there is Jia Lian She couldn't help being upset about the matter, so she simply listed the accounts clearly and sent the matter to Jia Amnesty.

The men in the mansion there also talked about it by themselves. Jia Zhen said: "Many people have moved in this time, and others are already optimistic about the construction of the place. We can't fall behind." What kind of garden did the Li family build in the place where Li's family had built?

Jia Amnesty also thought so, but when he remembered the bill from his daughter-in-law, he frowned, and said: "The harvest in the village has not been good in the past few years, and the expenses in the house are too high, so I am afraid that the money will not be easy to come by."

Jia Zheng persuaded from the side: "If the money is not enough to spend, it's okay to have a smaller show."

Jia She stroked his beard and remained silent, Jia Zhen said with a smile: "Other families are afraid that the ostentation is not enough, so there is a reason why our family is simple! The empress must not look good in the palace."

Jia Zhengdao: "Nowadays, the superiors are diligent and thrifty, and we are tired of extravagance. As ministers, we should understand the heart of heaven and share our worries with saints and empresses. Isn't it embarrassing to let the censor know about the real works?"

Seeing that he suppressed this, Jia Zhen didn't respond, she only looked at Jia She, who said: "Your brother is worrying too much, we are not building a garden to compete for extravagance, it's just for the decency of ordinary royal families, that's all. The censor knows, so he can't say anything."

Jia Zheng saw that the two of them were fighting together, and they just wanted to make a big deal, and he sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Now that the discussion here has been made, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen discussed about money - for such expenses, they have to borrow money from here and there, and there is no such thing as a good family that cannot be asked.Jia Zhen and Jia She have their own way of earning money from their peers, but it is convenient to say in front of Jia Zheng that the two uncles and nephews look at each other and smile at each other, knowing it well.

Jia Zheng saw it, didn't he know it?Just shaking his head and sighing.

In the end, it was decided that Jia Lian would be sent to Jinling to manage some of the family's properties. Those that could be sold must be sold at a discount first, and then they would ask Lin Hai and old acquaintances in Jinling to borrow some, and discuss the rest.

That's why Jia Lian came back from Jiangnan, so he had to pack his bags and go on the road.Last time when he and Sister Feng parted, they were reluctant to part with each other and lingered in every possible way. This time, Jia Lian was worried about the beautiful woman outside, and Sister Feng was annoyed that he had taken care of the concubine.

Sister Feng made an excuse to keep Xing'er, but sent Wang'er out. Guessing that Jia Lian had left the city gate, she let Xing'er in with a lot of noise.He also called a few strong women, and when Xing'er came in, he caught Xing'er and carried him into the house, without opening the curtain, he just yelled "Hit!"

Several wives stepped forward and beat Xing'er until he cried and called his mother. He just kowtowed and said, "What did you do wrong to offend grandma? Please just teach grandma a lesson. Don't get mad at grandma, she's dirty too. hands of mothers."

Sister Feng sneered and said, "Now that you're down in front of me, you're acting cute! Isn't that how you look in front of your grandfather?"

Xing'er didn't know, so he went in and said with a smile: "To honor the father is to honor the grandma. The grandma and the grandpa are originally one, and the younger ones are naturally obedient."

It's okay if you don't talk about it, but when you talk about it, Sister Feng ordered her mother-in-law to slap him in the face, and scolded: "Foolish and forgetful bastard! Honoring your father and respecting me are one, why don't you find me a Yangzhou bitch?"

Hearing this sentence, Xing'er knew what had happened, so she didn't dare to argue anymore, she just knelt down and kowtowed in panic, "It's the slave lard who deceived me! The slave should not be confused for a while. When I heard that I want to go shopping, I will seriously take the master out. , who would have met such a person! Slave should die! Slave should die!"

Xingxing said that he didn't need the women to do anything, he just slapped himself on the mouth with his hands, "Confused egg~ son, you bastard" could not stop cursing, and then kowtowed to Sister Feng for mercy.

Sister Feng watched coldly, and when she saw that her face was swollen, she stopped and asked, "I heard that you flatter her as your second aunt outside, saying that she is gentler and more virtuous than me, and more caring than me, isn't it? "

Xing'er was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed again: "It's absolutely nothing! Which bastard with a rotten butthole is spitting shit in front of grandma? This servant wants to confront him face to face."

Sister Feng said: "That's not necessary, I just ask you, which street and alley does she live in? What does she look like?"

Xing'er said: "She lives in Zixu Alley, she has a green face and fangs, she looks like a yaksha!"

She made Sister Feng amused: "Are you scolding me or her?" Seeing that Xing'er and Wang'er had the same information about Ping'er's asking people to inquire, I sent him out first, and put my hair around myself. Reluctantly, just thinking of Jia Lian brought tears to her eyes, and immediately took Ping'er and went straight to Jia's mother - exactly what she saw on Daiyu Road.

After Tanchun and the others went to Baochai's place to talk for a while, Xichun was honest and told Daiyu that she was from Jia's mother. Daiyu immediately asked, "Is it because of the second sister-in-law that I avoided it?"

The three of you looked at each other, and Tanchun said after a long while: "We were going to greet the old lady, but we came out first because we saw Sister Feng crying inside with disheveled hair——Sister Lin, do you know why Sister Feng is?" Is it?"

Daiyu said: "You don't know anything about your house, how do I know?" Seeing a plate of crabapple cakes on Baochai's kang, with half of Baochai's leftover food on it, she smiled and stretched out her hands to eat. Baochai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to her: "If you want to eat, you can eat a piece. What do you do with mine? It won't make you short."

Daiyu looked sideways at her and said, "You still keep saying you don't want to eat it during the day, but I'll listen to you, why don't you just eat half a piece? You're talking again!"

Baochai had no choice but to ask the girl to bring jujube paste and yam cakes for all the sisters. Afraid that Daiyu would eat too much again, she specially asked someone to take a small plate, only two yuan per plate, but Daiyu would not eat it. So, I took Yingchun and whispered to her about playing chess.

Talking about Baoyu's interesting story, Tanchun said: "Second elder brother came out from dinner with the master today, his eyes were red, and he didn't come out when we went to see him, he was just writing. It seems that our family is going to have a hermit."

Baochai said with a smile: "He is willing to work hard, even if he is a hermit, it is better than fooling around in the garden. Just don't work too hard and burn your body."

Who knows that not only did she see that Daiyu said that Baoyu was unhappy, but Daiyu didn't want to hear that she cared about Baoyu, and when she heard the word "Baoyu" in her ears, she kicked her, so Baochai had to talk to Tanchun instead. Weather, clothes, etc.

Tanchun saw that he couldn't ask anything from them, and he had enough to digest, so he went out for a while.I even went to welcome the spring and cherish the spring.

Baochai wanted to send Daiyu to sleep again, and Daiyu said, "I'm afraid there will be a good show tomorrow, so you go to my place. Let's get up early to watch the excitement."

Baochai poked her forehead with a finger and said, "Don't go!" Then he undressed her and sent someone back to send a message: "It is said that Miss Lin is talking to me at my place, and she sleeps here at night."

Daiyu grinned and didn't move at all, letting her send her to wash, and went inside to wait for Baochai familiarly.

Baochai, however, washes and smears face cream, tossing and tossing for a long time, before she blows on the lamp, laying down outside, Daiyu slapped her in a hurry and complained: "How many layers do you want to apply! "

Baochai said with a smile, "It always takes some time to get dressed."

Daiyu rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "You were never so troublesome in the past—say, is it because of me? Don't worry, even if you are a yellow-faced woman, I want you too."

Baochai was so annoyed that she slapped Daiyu's hand and yelled, "Sleep!"
