Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

Baochai came back from the outside in a carriage, and ordered a woman to follow with her food box. First, she went to Mrs. Wang's place to sit and chat for a while, and then followed her to Mrs. Jia's yard for dinner.I heard that she went out for a trip today, and the old lady cheerfully asked someone to bring back the dishes she served and put them on the table: "In the past, I was too lazy to eat the dishes that the boss and the second came in. Who would want to eat greasy ones?" .Today is different, a child's filial piety must be received no matter what."

Talking about the mandarin ducks, they tore some meat from the legs of the oriole, and the old lady tasted it and said: "This taste is right, and the porridge is very comfortable, take two with me, and let the children taste the rest. " Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing stood by and waited on them for a while, and said with a smile: "This is a restaurant run by my sister's family. How many lifetimes."

Mother Jia smiled and patted Sister Feng's arm, who came over to make fun of her, and said, "These shredded eels and the like, there were several families who were good at making them when I was young. The most famous one was in Xiangxiang's family earlier, because they were still used for this. It got the name of Huangque Shen, don't tell me, the taste is somewhat similar. Later, Mr. Shen retired, and there was no famous person in the descendants, and the scholarly family was nothing more than that. We were still at home that day. You are very clever when you go out, and it is a pity that you have not seen so many good things now." Sister Feng stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of shredded eel to taste. It's quite refreshing, and I praise it again and again.

Because he thought of the Qin family who had made friends with Dongfu again, he said: "I said before that the plum blossoms were in bloom. Didn't we go to enjoy the flowers? These days, I suddenly heard that someone came to tell her that she was not well. I want to go there. Take a look." Jia Mu nodded and said, "Go and have a look, it's rare that the young sisters are congenial, and she is in trouble, so you can go and see it a few times. I used to say that the life in the mansion is too rough. It's too fine, young people are a little rougher, so they can cherish their blessings for a long time." The rest of the people bowed their heads and said, "I would like to receive the training." After that, there was no more words, and Bi Baochai was about to say goodbye and leave when suddenly It was heard that there were officials from the outside coming to the door.

Mrs. Wang and others thought it was related to Yuanchun and rushed forward to inquire, but the eunuch pinched his throat and said, "Let that daughter Xue come to take orders, but she ran to our house to death." They hurriedly pushed Baochai away again. When he got to the front, he just straightened his clothes and knelt on the futon, the eunuch laughed and said, "You don't need to kowtow, the Empress has passed an order, saying that some of the girls who went to the palace to choose servants were quite frightened by the idea, I ask you all to drink some catechu tomorrow morning and sit down for a while, so that the princesses can meet you."

After Baochai finished the ceremony, Mother Jia ordered Yuanyang to take the purse and send the father-in-law out. She turned her head and said to Baochai with joy, "My girl, this is a great joy. You can't be careless. You can get all the clothes and jewelry? Come on, please." That nanny of yours came over to discuss it, and you must not miss a big deal."

At that moment, a mother-in-law went to invite Mother Su, and other sisters came up to congratulate her. Baochai sat down after being congratulated from left and right, and said, "This time, I must have been supported by Big Sister Yuanchun, otherwise there will be no such thing. Only this It means that the knowledge, etiquette, and conduct of the previous assessment are not serious, and whether you can succeed in the end depends on whether you can catch the eyes of the ladies above, and it is always a result." After hearing her words, Mrs. Wang felt ironed, and hurriedly He shook hands and said, "It doesn't matter whether you can choose or not, it's best if you think so. It's better to make serious preparations so as not to show your eyes in front of the masters."

Jia Mu also nodded and said: "That's what it means. It's not easy for Bao girl to come to this step. Even if she comes back, she will have a bright face. In the future, it will be easier to talk about marriage than others. If so, my wife will give it to you." Add joy." Then he called Yuanyang: "Go and open my private treasury, get a set of red gold inlaid with red treasures, and a pink single-headed hairpin for Yubao girl. Go get it again A clam tassel and emerald gold hairpin for Yuer, a pair of pure gold twisted tire bracelets for the second girl, a red gold silk necklace for the third girl, and a long-lived golden lock for the fourth girl. Tell her that she is still young , I still can’t hold the hairpin on my hair now, so don’t blame me for giving her sister good things.” After saying that she couldn’t hold her hand, she laughed, and Sister Feng laughed: “It’s the old ancestor. If I change it, I’ll just bite With a broken tongue, I can no longer tell what is what."

Baochai also laughed: "Brother Feng is no coincidence than the old ancestor. The old ancestor is the Avalokitesvara in the portrait, and you are just a walker in the vanguard." Sister Feng came and said, "I am a walker. Who is the dragon girl? Who is the golden boy? I don’t know if you can tell, so I won’t let you!” Baochai pursed her lips and pointed at the mandarin duck: “Isn’t this the dragon girl?” Then she pointed at Baoyu: “That’s not a golden boy!”

Everyone laughed and said that what she said was that Sister Feng personally took the teapot and poured tea with her: "It's really Bao girl, I can make it back again, and I have to have Qiao Zong'er play tricks on you next time." Said After laughing and laughing, he broke the conversation.At this moment Su Momo arrived, and after coming in to see the ceremony, she lowered her hand and said: "Go back to the old lady, our girl has prepared two sets of clothes according to the order, don't worry. There will be no delay in tomorrow morning." The little girl took a bundle and handed it up. Yuanyang took it and showed it to Jiamu before wrapping it up again.Mother Jia then said to Nanny Su: "It's not easy for this girl. She's going to Beijing to worry about these things, so I need your help, take good care of her, and when your wife comes, I'll do you a favor."

Mother Su blessed the blessing, and stood behind Baochai with the little girl and her bundle. The whole family chatted for a while and then went away.Baoyu has been sitting beside Jia Mu all the time. Because of Daiyu Xiangyun a few days ago, she has always seen Baochai indifferently these two days, and she hates Madam Su and her like, so she has been silent.It was not easy for him to wait until the banquet was over before he sighed and walked out of the Bisha closet. Today, he is not accompanied by Xiren, but a girl named Qingwen who is somewhat similar to Daiyu.This girl used to be by the old lady's side, she is good at chiseling and has a good appearance, so she is called a pet and has a bit of a child's heart. Seeing the excitement at the banquet today, she must be full of praise, but she only listens to Baoyu "" "Hey" and said: "You just think it's a good place. I don't know how much grievances and sufferings my eldest sister has suffered in there. She just wants to look clean and don't ask anyone who is crying behind her back."

This made Baoyu's nanny, Nanny Li, frighten her so much that she pulled her sleeves and said, "Brother, you can't say that. How can you talk about the royal affairs?" Pushed her staggeringly.The attacker over there was coming out to see him, so he hurried over to help Mammy Li to get up and persuaded him, "Mama Li is free and has nothing to do, so let's sit on the porch, eat fruit and rest, let us persuade Second Master Bao."

Over there, Nanny Li felt ashamed and hot on her face, covered her face and howled dryly: "I've spent half my life worrying about it, but I only listen to those goblins who tease little girls, and don't pay attention to women anymore. It's gone." A series of words made Baoyu tremble all over with anger, and immediately turned around to find Jiamu: "It's the other way around, go back to the old ancestors and throw them out, forget it, and bite and bite four times when you don't do anything clean. !" The nanny cried louder immediately, and the whole yard was full of chickens and dogs jumping around without a moment's rest.

It turned out that Baoyu and the attacker were a little bit together, and the nanny found out some clues. Every time she wanted to make trouble for the attacker, she asked Baoyu to stop her, and she hated him deeply. In addition to being a thorn in the flesh, Fang Ke also seemed to be not a show.If Baoyu was asked to rush out indiscriminately, wouldn't the old face of several lifetimes be gone?Immediately, the flags were stopped and the drums were quiet, and the little girls were asked to pull them down. I hated Baoyu to sigh "dead fish's eyes" again in the yard.

Daiyu hides in her room, and strictly orders Zijuan and Xueyan to lock the door and be silent. She wholeheartedly waits for her father to send someone to pick her up, but Baoyu doesn't quiet down until the second watch.

Baochai returned to Lixiangyuan, lay down and rested for a while, then was called up again to wash and change clothes.Therefore, when Fan enters the palace to meet the empress and the princesses, the hair has to be washed again, and the makeup must be careful, neither to look bad, nor to be too gorgeous, especially not to be too beautiful So as not to overwhelm the limelight of the masters.Madam Su helped her change her clothes, and gave her a bun that was neither too high nor too low. On her hair, she only used the pink one-headed diamond that Old Mrs. Jia gave her yesterday, while omitting everything else, which made her appear dignified. Calm, bright and generous.

After the fifth watch drum, there will be a small sedan chair in the palace to pick up people.Su Nanny personally sent Baochai to the sedan chair, and followed her all the way to the gate of the palace.It was time for the handover of the Royal Forest Army. After waiting for a while, the other girls who had received the oral order also arrived one after another. Su Momo saw the mistake and stuffed a pure gold little goldfish into the head eunuch's hand , with a smile and blessing: "So that my wife can take care of our girl a little bit."

The eunuch just squeezed his hand lightly and smiled all over his face: "Don't worry, mama, I see you are kind, and I will be able to sit together and catch up with you when you have a lot of kung fu in the future." After saying that, he greeted the little eunuchs Inviting the girls in the sedan chair out one by one, it was a long search when they passed the palace gate, which was more time-consuming than the previous time, and it was really after the breakfast time that they let them go. The time in the garden is exactly the time to drink tea at noon.

The eunuchs led people to the middle of the garden, Baochai lowered her head and didn't dare to look around, but kept her own place and followed the gangster, reporting her family name and the names of her father and brother.Because I don't have much official position in my family, I didn't even have this job. I only heard the laughter coming from all around, but I still followed the maid who led the way to the position and knelt down to salute.

After all the ladies had finished their ceremony, a solemn voice called out from above the main seat, and then dared to stand up cautiously.Baochai was standing right in the center, barely able to see a bright golden glow above, and the rest didn't know what it was like.The queen speaks very dignifiedly, she only said that it is a matter of choosing servants for the princesses, no matter whether she is selected or not, she must not harbor any resentment.After admonishing like this, he waved his hand and called an elderly maid to come forward and said: "Today's test is all in sight, girls don't need to worry too much, just come to enjoy the scenery and have fun."

While speaking, the queen left the table, and the voices of the left and right chatter became louder.Most of the girls who came to choose servants also let out a sigh of relief and looked up. Some of the family members who had already agreed with each other were leading their companions to the master they would serve in the future.

Baochai didn't intend to enter the palace in the first place, so at this moment, she just sat quietly in her seat and stared blankly.Tea and snacks are not dared to be used during the banquet. Mother Su explained earlier that if it is considered impolite or in other circumstances, all food and water in the palace can be avoided or avoided, and two meals will be skipped until the evening when I go home and want to eat How much is it not?You don't have to "try the law by yourself".

This time, besides the first princess from the central palace, the princesses who need to choose accompanying attendants also have a concubine Zhen Gui, a concubine Shu and a concubine Xian, all of whom are at the age of plum blossoms. It was calculated that they were obtained consecutively within one or two years.Baochai touched herself to do it for about half an hour, when a little eunuch ran over clapping her hands, everyone knew that the empress had returned, and all held their breaths and sat back in their seats to wait for a decision.Sure enough, after a while, the empress was promoted to Yu, and all the women to be elected knelt down to salute again, and then got up to return to the table.

The queen said in a weary and indifferent voice: "You can post the companion newspapers for those who have been picked, and give rewards for those who have not been picked." Immediately, four nuns came forward and whispered their names. , there was no Xue family among them.The maid in charge of the queen memorized the names, and after she finished memorizing, she went up and read the names of the winners, and whispered the names of the winners in the queen's ear if she didn't get the winners. If she got the instructions, she stood up and re-announced the list.

From the beginning to the end, Baochai treated him in silence, and he was neither happy nor sad after hearing the list.My family is a merchant, no princess will be selected no matter how indifferent she is, it is nothing more than finding a fault and dismissing someone, but she will never be selected.At that moment, he kowtowed his head happily, took the brocade box handed over by the maid to salute and thanked him, and then followed the little eunuch all the way to the outside of the palace gate.

She let out a sigh of relief in her heart, it can be regarded as a major event has been settled, and the next step is to wait for her mother and brother to enter Beijing so that they can leave Jia's mansion.When passing by the narrow alley, he suddenly remembered the last time he came in here and was in danger, and couldn't help wondering why the head of the Jinyiwei went into Xue's restaurant to work as a cook.In the previous episode, I was just making fun of myself, and said that the guards in Jinyi were paid less money, but in fact, I am afraid that it has something to do with the account books hidden in Lixiangyuan.It would be great if he could change hands and get rid of this lump of hot potato. I'm afraid that Jin Yiwei will turn his face and deny anyone if he takes something.

How should I figure out a way to associate with this person?

While thinking about it, he followed the little eunuch to go out, and it took a lot of effort to get out of the palace gate. When he looked up, he saw that Madam Su was still waiting outside. Baochai hurried forward two steps and said: "Oh, Mama, what a surprise! Waiting here all this time? Have you ever been exhausted?" At this time the little eunuchs brought the sedan chair over, Su Momo led him into the sedan chair and said, "Miss, don't worry about old age, just go back and relax for a couple of days. But here is the girl, the result is good." Baochai then looked down and realized that the brocade box in her arms was a bit more gorgeous than others, and then thought that she was the only one who was not picked among the few people who were in danger that day, so she couldn't help laughing. "After all, the princesses are innocent and innocent, and the empress is also kind and amiable. It's not in vain to go back to the world after more than a month of tossing." Then she sat in the sedan chair, and the little eunuchs lifted them up and walked to Rongning Street.

After entering the Lixiangyuan, Baochai called Yinger and Bailu in a loud voice: "Yinger went to answer the old lady and the lady, and said that although she was not selected, she had experienced it once, but she had never seen her again. The eldest sister felt very sorry. Bailu took the little maid to the big kitchen, and asked the wife to order two big bowls of thin hand-rolled noodles, put more vegetables, and put a poached egg in it. Let's make a good idea, don't make those It's a dish that doesn't work in your head."

The two maids laughed and went away, and then Baochai and Madam Su picked up a Xiudun and sat down, while other maids came in to serve.Taking advantage of this time, Baochai opened the brocade box brought out of the palace and looked inside. At the beginning was a small and exquisite Ruyi handle, followed by two strings of red wagtail bracelets, twelve palace flowers and some exquisite jade carvings. Small pieces.There is no inner-made seal on it, and it looks like something to make a little girl happy.She first laid out Ruyi and asked the girl to find a grid on the high shelf to offer it, and then she just took out the red wagtail bracelet and put it aside.The small pieces came out and were divided into the purses sewn by the maids on weekdays. Then I reached out and recruited a little girl: "Send this 'pen ingot wishful' to the second master Bao, and this 'lucky fortune' to the second master." Huan Sanye, this "Three Friends of Sui Han" is for Lan Geer, and this "Fu Lu Shou Xi" is for the second master Lian of the big house. Remember to say that this is a gift from the empress, and I will distribute it to everyone Good luck. Don’t make a mistake, come back and ask your sisters to grab fruit for you.” The little girl was so happy to hear that she took a few purses with different patterns and ran away.Only then did Baochai look back at the remaining twelve four-season flowers and sagong flowers in the box.

The palace flowers are very exquisitely made, and the flowers of various colors are tied together so vividly that in Baochai's opinion, there is no distinction between superior and inferior.He originally planned to reach out and keep the peony for his own use, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It's better to put it together and wait for the girls from Jia's mansion to gather together to choose. Not happy, so I got up and wrote a post to invite a few girls to come to the Pear Fragrance Garden tomorrow morning to "view the flowers" and have fun.

After she had finished writing a few posts, Yinger came back first, followed by Yuanyang and Jin Chuan, came in and saw Baochai and bowed to each other: "The old lady and the lady ordered us to come and congratulate the girl, we must be together in a few days." Eat wine and have fun, just wait for this season to have a feast, so that the gods will not be unhappy if they find out!"

Baochai responded with a smile, and said that she invited all the girls to choose the palace flowers and go back to play. Yuanyang and Jin Chuan both laughed and said: "It's so good, the girl keeps the ones that everyone looks down on and picks the rest. With us, you must wear it on your head to impress the nobleness of the empress!" After saying these words, everyone laughed so hard that they quickly let them go to help distribute the post.

The author has something to say: Good morning everyone!
