[comprehensive] superior skills

With her husband and dowry, Feng, who is only waiting to get married next month, is too ashamed to see anyone, and hides in the house all day long.

While embroidering the wedding dress, she made some clothes for the future husband and daughter according to the size provided by Song Ci.

Fortunately, although he did a lot of rough work in Feng's family, in the early years, he did not rely on the work of the embroidery workshop to make up for the family. Now not only the craftsmanship has not fallen, but his eyesight has recovered, and the embroidery work he made is stronger than before.

The Feng family knew that her craftsmanship was not comparable to that of the big family's embroiderer, so she only worked hard on the details, and no one who saw it would ignore her intentions.

Seeing that she was only busy with the Lin family's father and daughter all day long, Song Ci felt jealous.

Although he had made up his mind long ago to send Feng Shi away, he couldn't bear it when it really happened.

Perhaps it was because I was used to the company of the three dwarf brothers in my previous life, and this time I was left alone, usually with only Feng Shi as company, and now I have to send her to someone else's home with my own hands, even the cold-hearted Song Ci will inevitably feel a little bit disappointed .

Song Ci was feeling uncomfortable, and suddenly felt his legs sink, and looked down, it turned out that King Yinjiao sneaked in at some time, and jumped on her lap to act like a spoiled child when she was not prepared.

Seeing the little white lion's full of dependence, Song Ci smiled faintly, "It's me. I have my own destiny. She and I were not fellow travelers in the first place."

She rubbed King Yinjiao's fluffy neck, and said strangely: "I still have you, little guy. There will be more cuties competing with you in the future, be afraid! Look at you, you are all dirty Let's go, let's take a shower!"

Hearing the familiar and terrifying words, King Silver Horn struggled vigorously out of the instinct of a beast, and made a gesture to hit with the soles of his claws, screaming and wanting to take the opportunity to break free from his master's embrace.

It's a pity that Song Ci didn't pay attention to its bluff, picked up the half-grown lion cub and went straight to the bathroom.

When the exhaustion was washed away, the uneasiness in my heart disappeared.

Only the wet little white lion snorted angrily, looking for a gap to shake the water drops from his body to Song Ci's feet.

This kind of provocative way of being strong while doing nothing made Song Ci laugh out loud, and couldn't help but stepped forward to tease King Yinjiao non-stop.

The wrestling between one person and one favorite ended in the defeat of the little white lion. When the little guy ran out dejectedly to find comfort, Song Ci also got dressed and was ready to go out.

Ever since she came to the Red Mansion, she has been busy doing her best for others, and she has never done anything for herself.

Now that Song Ci has figured it out, he naturally wants to go out for a while, and store supplies for the future journey along the way.

After all, although the World of Red Mansions performed a drama of joys and sorrows, it is still a rare peaceful era. The next time I want to have this kind of good place similar to a large ancient holiday resort, I don’t know if it will take hundreds of years to realize it.

After greeting the dumb woman, Song Ci drove the carriage to Beijing, the thousand-year-old capital that has survived the six dynasties.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, all the aborigines in the capital were expelled from the inner city. Many wealthy merchants and brokers moved to the east of the outer city near the Water Transport Wharf for the convenience of business, and the west was mostly the living circle of high-ranking Hanchen officials.

The north and the south are left. The former is a place where common people and small rich families live together, while the latter is a distribution center for all kinds of craftsmen from all walks of life. There are teahouses, theaters and other places of entertainment. The famous Bada Hutong is located in Root here.

Relying on his unique skills, Song Ci led the monk through Qianmen Street unhurriedly, and first went to the common people's market for ordinary people's consumption.

There are many small shops selling food along the way, most of which are stewed and fire-cooked vegetable soups and other cheap eats.

Song Ci deliberately bought a bowl from a clean store to try. Although the taste is a bit strange, it is not difficult to accept.

The shopkeeper simply asked the shopkeeper to choose one hundred sweet sesame sauce and one hundred salty pickles and pack them in oiled paper to take away.

It was the first time for the old man who opened the shop to meet such a proud buyer. Although the fire was worthless, the whole day's worth of sold at once was enough to make him happy.

Putting the fire into the carriage, Song Ci continued to follow the smell of food on the street, and went in when he saw a shop that was pleasing to the eye, and bought a lot of high-quality and cheap daily necessities, as well as gadgets carved by folk artists.

Putting the full things in the carriage into the ring, Song Ci went all the way to the rich people's market outside Zhengyangmen.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the northern and southern lowlands, most of the pedestrians and merchants here are dressed in clean and tidy silk clothes, and they speak softly, appearing to be very cultivated.

A row of long awnings was erected on both sides of the wide road, which can not only escape the heat but also prevent things from being damaged by sudden rain.

There is a distance of Zhang Xu behind the shed, which is convenient for the merchants facing the street to welcome them.

When Song Ci arrived, it was just in time for the anniversary celebration of a century-old shop, and many neat little girls were sent out to offer passers-by a taste of the new-style dim sum that had been cut.

Unexpectedly, businessmen in ancient times also knew how to attract customers by tasting food. Song Ci smiled and ate the plum-flavored dim sum that the little girl with croissant braids held over her eyes. Seeing that the taste was refreshing and not too sweet, she followed her into the store and bought ten catties.

There are also many kinds of boxed snacks with various styles and exquisite packaging on the counter, such as Jingbapieces, Sachima, milk pastry, steamed cakes, tea cakes, pickled fruits and other kinds of Manchu and Han flavors. There are seasonal drinks such as honey-stained osmanthus, honey-stained roses, and honey-stained kumquats made from fresh nectar that year, as well as instant bee sugar cut into tofu cubes. The food cans are sealed and stored.

Song Ci was dazzled by the sight, so he simply ordered fifty pieces of each in the name of returning home, and the little girl who led the way was stunned.

Seeing that there was a big deal coming, the shopkeeper immediately ordered the boy to make tea to entertain the distinguished guests, let Song Ci stay in the room for a while, and then called for someone to pack the dessert and honey into a box.

Song Ci was drinking tea to tease the little girl from before, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice from outside.

Leaning forward a little and looking out, it turned out that it was Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg.

Ever since Lin Ruhai decided to renew, the relationship between Jia's family and Lin's family quickly changed from the honeymoon period to the cold war period. They seemed to be strangers to each other, and tried their best to avoid mentioning each other whether they were joking or chatting at home.

It's not that the Rongguo Mansion wants to abandon the relatives of the Lin family. After all, no matter how low the rank of Lin Ruhai is, it is better than the two masters of the Jia family. What's more, there are people behind the Lin family and a large amount of wealth involved. .

It's just that Shi Taijun has been used to being the master of the family since the death of the old Duke, and suddenly he was hit with a sap by the son-in-law who thought he was pinching him, so he felt so useless.

In her heart, the Lin family's wealth belonged to the two jade children. Now that a stepmother has come first, who knows if there will be another younger brother in the future?

At that time, the Lin family will have other children, and Daiyu, a married woman, can take away only a few boxes of dowry, let alone try to use the Lin family's efforts to cultivate and support Baoyu.

The more Shi Taijun thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had known that Lin Ruhai was so fickle, he might as well have chosen someone to send him from the beginning, so as to leave a way out.

Anyone with a little understanding of medical theory knows that anger hurts the liver, sadness overcomes fear, and worrying is the most tiring.

As a result, Shi Taijun, who was just trying to save face, was really ill. Seeing the old lady was so angry, no one in the mansion would dare to mention the Lin family's affairs. Book.

It's not that Jia Baoyu didn't feel sorry for his old grandmother and wanted to fight against her, just like Shi Taijun said, he was a child at heart, never thought that his uncle Lin's reunion would affect his family's future, at most he was worried about Sister Lin.

Shi Taijun didn't mention it, and Mrs. Wang, who was more concerned about her son's studies, pretended not to see it, and quietly arranged for a few suitable people to follow Baoyu.

Every early autumn, Lin Daiyu would suffer from coughing, so after school today, Jia Baoyu went to the market to buy kumquat soaked in water for her to relieve her symptoms.

This is how we met in the store just now.

It was the first time Song Ci had close contact with the genuine Shenying waiter, and couldn't help but become curious about the piece of precious jade.

After paying the purchase price, Song Ci secretly followed Jia Baoyu and his party in a carriage, waited at the entrance of a quiet alley, and shouted: "Dare to ask the young master in front, but someone in the family has a cough and shortness of breath. disease?"

Jia Baoyu stood still suspiciously, and the servants around him immediately surrounded him to protect him when they saw a stranger.

Song Ci shook his head amusedly, turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage door, revealing stacks of packed snack boxes inside, "I heard the young master buying kumquats in the store just now, and I happened to have the right medicine in hand, so I thought about asking about it. .”

Jia Baoyu smiled happily after hearing this, "It turns out that the girl had good intentions, and I'm being rude to you!"

In his opinion, even though Song Ci couldn't see his face clearly with a veiled hat, he didn't look like ordinary people just because of his attire.

What's more, although Jia Baoyu has changed his habit of eating rouge now, he is still a person who cherishes flowers and treats women preferentially.

Song Ci nodded, "This pill of mine is designed to treat cough and asthma. One pill a day will eradicate it in ten days. When the disease is cured, it will be difficult to relapse."

Jia Baoyu thought that if he could really cure sister Lin's cough and asthma, it would be worth spending any amount of money, so he hurriedly asked: "How much does the girl want to sell me the pills? I have some scattered money here. If there is not enough money, I can still send someone to pick it up, I just ask the girl to wait a little longer."

Song Ci pointed to the golden collar on his chest and said, "This medicine is priceless. But as long as you let me take a look at the psychic jade, I won't take any money."

Before Jia Baoyu could speak, the servants around him all came to Zhang An to persuade him: "Second Master! You can't do it! If you lose the jade, let alone Second Master, we will lose our lives!"

"Get out of the way! This is my property. If there is a mistake in the future, I will explain it to the master and wife. What does it have to do with you?"

Without hesitation, Jia Baoyu handed the psychic gem the size of a bird's egg to Song Ci, "If you can use this tortoise to exchange for sister Lin's well-being, it is also its good fortune."

Song Ci took the psychic jade with a handkerchief, and looked at it carefully for a long time. Except for the good texture, he didn't see any other mysterious places, at least he couldn't feel the unique spiritual fluctuations of the Philosopher's Stone.

Perhaps the energy system of the two is different?

Satisfied with his curiosity, Song Ci took out a small porcelain bottle from his purse and returned it together with Baoyu, "Take a pill after dinner every day, and you will be fine in ten days."

In the medicine bottle were Song Ci's homemade hawthorn pills when he was bored. They were sweet and sour, and they were eaten as jelly beans on weekdays.

Because it has been soaked in the spring water of the copper kettle, in addition to the original function of helping digestion, it also has the effect of curing diseases.

Today, I gave it to Jia Baoyu on a temporary basis. After a few days, sister Lin's illness will disappear, which can be regarded as an indirect proof of Feng's good fortune.

The author has something to say:

Song Ci: Don't miss it when you pass by, there are wholesale psychic jade sellers!

Jia Baoyu: ...
