Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

On the second day, Baoyu's godmother, Ma Daopo, came to pay her respects and coaxed Jia Mu to light five catties of sesame oil and a sea lantern for Baoyu every day. People, it is not easy to enter the Grand View Garden, and there is nothing to visit, so I came to Aunt Zhao's yard without knowing it.

Aunt Zhao was eating, feeling restless, she was eating by the window sill, when she saw someone approaching from outside the window, she hurriedly stuffed a bowl of salted duck in her hand into the cabinet, pretending to eat .

As soon as Ma Daopo entered the door, she could smell the smell of meat. Just as she was about to say, what good food are you stealing here, she was taken aback when she saw a few dishes on the table.

This is a plate of multigrain steamed buns, a plate of pickled vegetables, a plate of clear cabbage soup, and nothing else. I thought I had read it wrong, so I stepped forward to take a closer look. It was still those three dishes, and I sniffed my nose again. She did smell a bit of duck meat, didn't she?

Aunt Zhao looked at her carefully, then pushed the three dishes in front of her forward, and said,

"You want to eat? Then take it and eat it!"

Ma Daopo shook her head embarrassingly, even her dogs would not eat this food.

"You, you can be regarded as a half-master anyway, why did you let you eat this thing?"

"This thing?" Aunt Zhao curled her lips, "It's good to have something to eat, and pick something!"

Ma Daopo leaned closer and asked, "Is that what your wife meant, or yours?" Ma Daopo pouted, "Which one did you mean?"

Aunt Zhao now has hundreds of taels of silver to eat and drink well, but she will never forget what a life of people and ghosts she lived in the past one or two years. Seeing no one was outside, he said angrily,

"You know that Lian's second grandma is a good one. She wished she could move even a share of her belongings to the Wang family. She dared not withhold those favored things like Baoyu, Baochai, and Miss Lin. Only, ah, Those of us who are unfavored and have no hope, desperately want to eat nothing, and go to immortality!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't your wives care?"

Aunt Zhao thought of Mrs. Wang's cold onlooker that night, she was very timid for some reason, she shrank her head and still didn't dare to say anything to her.

"Our wife is not in good health, so I can't control that much!"

Aunt Zhao stretched her body, revealing a piece of gold bracelet. Ma Daopo's eyes lit up, and thinking about the smell of duck meat when she came in just now, she thought to herself, Aunt Zhao has some savings, so she can Squeeze it.

"Don't be annoyed, these are the achievements of villains, don't worry, when brother Huan grows up in the future and gets a half-job, you will enjoy endless blessings!"

"Don't talk about that, I'll get angry when I say that, Huan'er's hand was broken by that Qingke gentleman, if you think about it, you won't be able to write or take the exam!"

Ma Daopo choked, even she couldn't have imagined that Aunt Zhao had gotten so mixed up!

Her mother-in-law, Ma Daopo, has always made money in the back house. Although the wife of the main house is easy to get money, it is not easy to get a lot of money. The work is only five catties at a time, even if I can't earn a lot of money, who knows if it will stop after a while.Another lady in the main room is not a sure winner. The wives of the Duke of Zhen and the Marquis of Yuan are examples.

A person like Aunt Zhao, who can have a man and a woman under her master's nose, she thought she was a capable person at first, even though she usually behaves nonsense, but who knows if she is pretending to be stupid To be frightened, I didn't see her win over Master Jia Zheng very well, and this type of people is also the target of her win.

It's just that she didn't expect Aunt Zhao to have so many good cards in her hand, what else could be mixed up, this son is handicapped, and he has lost the favor of men, and she can see Aunt Zhao's future.

But Ma Daopo not only didn't alienate Aunt Zhao coldly, but became more enthusiastic.She will not provoke those who were not favored at the beginning, and those who have always been favored are not easy to serve. Only those who were favored at first, have some power, and then plummeted are the best to serve. They often have a gambling heart, and their hands There is no shortage of gold and silver in it, if you catch one, you can have a full meal!

"It's not that I said something sinful, you guys are too honest, just let it go if you don't dare in the open, and don't count in the dark, otherwise you wouldn't be where you are today!"

Ever since Aunt Zhao was under house arrest, no one has come to talk to her, Ma Daopo has spoken to her heart again, and she still can't be happy, saying,

"How to calculate? Who has more minds than hornet's nests, how can I count on others!"

Ma Daopo knew she was hooked, so she took the bait and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know about this, it's a sin!"

At this time, Ma Daopo pretended to refuse, and Aunt Zhao said, "You are still stopping me at this time, I know that your monks are the ones who help the poor and the poor, and Huan'er and I will be plotted to death by these people If you don't help me, as long as you help me, how can I thank you?"

Talking about the things in the cabinet at the back, Ma Daopo stretched her neck to have a look, and sure enough, she saw a fat salted duck inside.

Sure enough, I saw Aunt Zhao take out a box, which was only some gold hairpins and silver coins, and it seemed to be a few years old. It should have been rewarded by Jia Zheng when Aunt Zhao was favored in the early years, so it's hard for her to hide it until now.

Then he took out another pile of clothes, although they were also made of fine satin and silk, they were all worn, and they couldn't be bought for a few dollars. Ma Daopo secretly said that it was unlucky that there were only these things.

Aunt Zhao didn't know what Ma Daopo was thinking, so she took out a small kit from her close-fitting clothes and said, "As long as you help me figure out a deal so that we can get the furniture, it's all yours." gone."

As he spoke, he walked around the bag in front of Ma Daopo, Ma Daopo reached out to touch it, and was snatched back by Aunt Zhao.

"If you can't get this furniture, don't even think about getting this money!"

Ma Daopo snorted inwardly, there are Jia Lian, Jia Lan, and Jia Baoyu in the house, and these people can only fall into Jia Huan's body if they are dead. Isn't it just a daydream to want a house?

Rubbing each other's fingers for a while, although the bag is small, it is also thin to the touch, but with her many years of skill, it is probably a real banknote, no one will make things difficult for the silver, she smiled at Zhao Aunt said,

"When you inherit the property, there will be tens of thousands of taels of silver for you to use. How can you care about these things? Even if the matter is settled, so what if you leave me behind?"

Aunt Zhao was getting angry at this private house, she was lost again, tore off the brocade bag, and took out 300 taels of silver, which happened to be left by Jia Huan before, and gave it to Ma Daopo, saying, "These silver are all I gave it to you, and these costumes and jewelry, you also take it back, tell me your idea quickly, if it works, I will naturally reward it, if not."

Aunt Zhao gave her a sideways look, "If it doesn't work, then don't blame me, even if I sue the yamen, I will not hesitate!"
