Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

Baochai only had the energy to look at the place where he would live in the future after eating. The house looked like it had been renovated recently.The walls are painted white, and there is a red sandalwood bed in the inner room, and the chests and boxes of the same material beside it should be the furniture that was delivered earlier and made by the house.Next to the window farther away is a book table, beside it stands a large blue and white vat for scrolls, and further to the wall is a shelf full of scrolls, also made of red sandalwood.These things seem to have been there in the past, and some places have been polished, so it can be seen that they must have been passed down from the Shen family.Coming out of the inner room, there is a small flower hall outside, with a landscape screen in the middle of the hall, a painting on the wall inside, and a narrow table below.Turning around the screen, there are two chairs and a small table at the top, and the same chairs with small mattresses and cushions standing opposite each other.Below the east and west windows are two rows of round stools, and there is a door on the left and right respectively leading to the left and right wing rooms.

The wing room at the east end is called a study room, and there are more books on the shelves than in the inner room.Baochai went over and picked up a few books and opened them to read, either they were not ghosts, or they were travel notes and miscellaneous notes.She put the book back, and looked up as if she saw a "Suiyuan Food List". Anyway, except for the books of sages, there are basically all kinds of books on it.Next to the window is a kang bed that is common in the north. Although it is tidy and clean at the moment, it can be seen how leisurely the owner is on weekdays, reading idle books and eating snacks.The west wing is full of Baochai's own things. It should be that when the whole house was built, she specially reserved this room for whatever she wanted to use.There is a small garden behind the house, and some seedlings have been neatly planted, which seem to have been planted recently.

After making a small circle, Baochai went in again, took out the "Suiyuan Food List" from the bookshelf, and went back to the inner room to sit and read it carefully.The sun gradually went down, the jade rabbit rose in the east, and the night was dark. In the middle, the egret went to the kitchen again. In the evening, the cook specially prepared thick and glutinous porridge and called it.After using it, Yinger sent the things there, and turned to the second gate to ask, and sure enough, she heard the noise outside, so she came back with peace of mind and sat with Baochai for a while before helping her to sleep.It was only in the middle of the night that there was no noise outside. Bailu Yinger was watching the night outside, and when there was any movement, she would wake up and get up to see, and saw two servants helping Shen Yu back.Seeing the two maids, one of them grinned and said with a smile: "Sister, we really tried our best. Today, the second master's colleagues came a lot, and he was happy when he was happy. Did grandma sleep? Don't tell us that we are not serious. disturbed."

At this moment, Baochai had already got up and put on some clothes and came out. Seeing that Shen Yu couldn't figure out where the north was, she hurriedly stepped aside and asked the servant to help him to the water room first.I took Ying'er back and looked through Shen Yu's clothes and sent them to him. After I finally settled the confused people, the sky turned pale.The two young men beat Qian'er and retreated with a flattering smile, the maids also closed the door and went outside to continue changing shifts for the night, Baochai hugged the thin quilt by herself and lay down on the Luohan couch on the other side, covered it up and closed her eyes again Fell asleep.

After a whole night of silence, Baochai just woke up when she heard the noises of maidservants going back and forth outside. In the middle of last night, because Shen Yu called her back, she moved to sleep on Luohan's couch.At this moment, the mattress under his body was soft and soft, as if there were a few dried fruits that were not cleaned under it, it didn't feel like he was on the couch.She opened her eyes and watched for a while before realizing that she was lying on the bed at some point. She turned her head and looked to the side, and suddenly saw the boss's face resting on the pillow next to her, staring at her intently.This time Baochai screamed so frightened that the hairs on his back stood up, and he suddenly sat up and smashed the pillow. Fortunately, Shen Yu reacted quickly, and then sat up and picked up the flying porcelain pillow with his arms, and said with a smile "My lady, you punished me for thrashing eyebrows with you this morning. Don't you think my hands are rough? Don't be angry. Be careful, this pillow broke your hands."

It was only now that Baochai came to his senses and recognized this person. He blushed and patted his chest with his hand and said, "I was shocked, didn't it hit me right? When did you move me up?" Shen Yu crossed her legs and hugged her. Sitting on the bed, the quilt tilted his head and said: "I woke up when it was almost dawn. When I saw me lying on my own, the boss was shocked. I thought it was my wife who was going to divorce me, so I hurriedly went to the ground to look for it. Who would have thought that you could sleep soundly on the couch over there, so I couldn't bear to make noise, so I just moved up and lay down and slept soundly." The maid outside heard the noise inside, and was knocking on the door to ask if she could come in, Baochai was annoyed She gave Shen Yu a sideways look and let her in. Ying'er Bailu led two little maids to open the door with things to serve her.

Shen Yu didn't need to be waited on by anyone, she jumped down with her arms propped up, took the basin from the maidservant and put it on a shelf in the corner of the room, and raised her chin to let the servants follow grandma around.After Baochai stretched out her hands to wash, she changed into bright clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table while Yinger combed her updo.I didn't use too many things to decorate the hair, except for the silver and gilt hairpin that Shen Yu exchanged for her monthly salary earlier, and because she was a newlywed, she added a red pile of silk flowers. People are translucent white.Shen Yu tidied herself up and came over to see her asking the servant girl to turn over this hairpin. Seeing that she didn't dislike it at all, she was very happy, and she stood on the other side and arched her hands and asked: "Lady, which one is used for thrush? Anyway, call it first." I took yesterday's penalty."

Ying'er suppressed a smile and quickly helped Baochai tie her hair, saluted, and walked back with Bailu carrying things, without answering a word.Shen Yu waited for a while and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so she blocked the road with a smile and asked Baochai to answer.Baochai had no choice but to point to a conch-shaped ink stick in the dressing box and said: "Here, this is it. You can think about it. If the painting is good-looking, it will be considered a turning point. If it is not good-looking, it will not be so easy to pass away." Shen Yusha rubbed her hand and picked up the snail Dai looked at it repeatedly, turned to Baochai's front, gestured left and right, bent over and smiled and said: "How can the painting not be good-looking, my wife is born so well, even if the painting It must be good-looking if you look like Zhang Fei." Baochai laughed angrily when she heard this, but she didn't dare to move, for fear that with a shake of her hand, she would really draw a fangs and claws eyebrows, and the man breathed shallowly and turned his temples By the side, he rubbed his hands lightly a few times before standing up and saying, "How is it?"

Baochai turned her head to look into the bronze mirror. Emei was swept away, shaped like a willow leaf, and it was really well drawn.Shen Yu was still waiting for her to praise her. The maid outside knocked on the door again and said: "Second Master, Second Mistress, it's time to go to the old man's place to offer tea." The grandfather drank this bowl of granddaughter-in-law's tea, and the old man felt little. Even though he was busy all day yesterday, he got up early this morning and sat in the yard waiting.

Now that the sun has risen, Shen Yu didn't dare to delay. She walked a few steps forward and waited for Baochai to step over the threshold before taking her to the main courtyard where old master Shen lived. The house was built by my great-grandfather when he was still in Beijing. The Shen family has not been very prosperous, so the three-entry house is enough. On weekdays, I have to go to the yamen early in the morning, and my grandfather is alone at home. If you feel bored, say As soon as you want to go back to your mother's house, just go, and remember to come back before dinner." Baochai followed behind, not taking his words seriously, and only listened to Shen Yu's detailed directions of the courtyard one by one along the way. Seeing an old housekeeper happily come out to welcome them in.

It was also the first time for the old housekeeper to see Baochai. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes and cupped his hands kindly and said, "Hello, Second Master, Second Mistress, the old man has been waiting for a while." Shen Yu first brushed away the flower branches hanging from her head Zihao asked Baochai to go in, and only after she entered did she let go and asked the old butler, "When did grandfather get up in the morning? Did you use anything? Did you sleep well last night?" The old butler answered one by one, leading the two around. Pass the screen wall and enter the main hall to the east wing.

Mr. Shen was dozing off while waiting for the big yellow cat in his arms. When he heard footsteps, he raised his hands and rubbed his eyes, sat up and asked, "Come here? Have you had breakfast?" Shen Yu said with a smile, "Not yet, I was too drunk yesterday. I just woke up, and I was thinking of coming to your place for dinner." The old man hummed and told the old housekeeper: "Go and ask the kitchen to bring all the breakfast to me, so we can use it together."

Taking advantage of this time, the old butler told his servants to bring up two teacups on a tray, and then handed them over to Shen Yu himself.Shen Yu first took one and put it in Baochai's hand, then went to get the other one by herself, knelt on the futon and kowtowed to hand over the tea.Old Man Shen took a sip of the tea, nodded to show that he had received the gift, and then watched Baochai kowtow to bring the tea.Seeing that his grandson and daughter-in-law had a good birth, her complexion was ruddy and she looked healthy, the old man immediately cheered up: "Okay, okay, from now on, I will work hard on you for everything in the family, if brother Yu has something to do to you, just be with me." I said, see if I don't break his leg." Baochai only pursed her lips and smiled, and waited for the old man to take a sip from the tea cup before getting up.

Mr. Shen put down the teacup, touched the big yellow cat twice, then turned to take a box from the small table and handed it to Baochai, "Our family is poor. Let's play with you here, anyway, there are more than a hundred acres of sacrifice land, so I won't be hungry or cold." Baochai turned to look at Shen Yu, and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, so he stretched out his hand to take it: " Business in Beijing is easy to do, as long as there is no violation of laws and regulations, there will always be no loss, but the more you earn, the less you earn.” Just as he was speaking, the big yellow cat in the old man’s arms got up, scratched its ears, jumped off the ground, and walked to the treasure house wagging its tail. Chai sniffed at her feet, and then her paws softened and she collapsed to the ground, lying on Baochai's shoes and did not move.

Baochai saw that it was chubby, so she couldn't help but knelt down and reached out to touch the cat's ears. The cat opened its mouth and let out a long and gentle sound of "meow~", and hooked the tip of its tail back to rest on Baochai's wrist. .Baochai was overjoyed when she saw this, scratched her ears and chin, and spread the fat cat into a cake, grunting tirelessly.Shen Yu on the side couldn't be bothered to see it, so she also stretched out her hand to grab the cat's tail and not let it hang on her wife's wrist. The big yellow cat let him touch its tail, turned its head, grinned its teeth, got up and quickly jumped onto the cabinet. With paws condescending.Mr. Shen was overjoyed: "I told you to take care of our father and son, you should!"

Shen Yu turned her head and explained to Baochai: "Grandfather suffered from phlegm surge a few years ago. Mr. Xu told him that he was not allowed to use big meat. I used to go to the yamen every day and I didn't have time to watch him at home. It's lucky." Now that you are here, you must keep an eye on it and don’t ask grandpa to eat it. This matter is extremely important.” Baochai almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, and nodded her head seriously: “Only big meat can’t be used? Is there any limit to other meat?” Shen Yu glanced at the old man proudly, then turned back and said: "There are no special restrictions on the side, as long as you don't overdo it." At this time, the cook brought the breakfast, and Shen Yu turned around to help the old man to go Going to the dining room to sit down, Baochai stood up and planned to help serve the dishes, the old man turned to look at her and said: "Sit down and use it, our family doesn't have the rules of grooming wives, you young people are in good health, that's the best. "After dinner, the old man went to the yard to bask in the sun, and Shen Yu took Baochai to the yard slowly.

Now that spring has just started, all the cases in the yamen for the previous year have been settled, and it is a rare leisure time, so he simply asked for a ten-year leave to stay at home with his wife.Anyway, I guess it would be great to be able to touch the edge of the second rank in this life, and I don't have to work so hard.When the two came one after the other, Shen Yu deliberately controlled her stride when returning, and the husband and wife walked side by side.Turning around the Shen family's house again, Shen Yu pointed to the courtyard and said: "From now on, I will leave all the family affairs to you. This is not a joke. Grandfather is old and has some symptoms of the elderly, so I dare not let him suffer. I go to the yamen every day, I'm afraid I can't help you. The servants inside and outside can buy if they need it, and sell it if they don't obey. You have the final say. And these yards, you can build them into whatever you like. Son, if you want to live here for the rest of your life, you can't be too particular about it."

Baochai thought for a while and said, "I'm not in a hurry right now, so take your time, what if someone cries for you to complain?" Shen Yu laughed, "You forgot what I do There are only people in the family who are crying and begging you to go, who can’t think about it and come to beg me.” Talking and walking back to the yard, Baochai wanted to pack the dowry in the vault, so she sent Shen Yu to the east wing to drink Tea, eat candied fruit, and read the book.

Ying'er and Bailu were still guarding the courtyard. When Baochai went to the main courtyard, Baochai didn't take them with him. Seeing his master coming back, he hurriedly got up and saluted and followed Baochai, saying, "Go back to Second Grandma, we will marry you as a dowry." The list of people who came has been sent up, do you see me now or when?" Baochai stopped after hearing this: "See you first, after seeing Bailu, bring the account book and go to Kuli with me to arrange the dowry. Wait until you get back to the door Then I asked the shopkeepers to bring the account book to me." After speaking, he asked someone to arrange a seat and invited the old butler to come, but Shen Yu turned around to the east chamber and came back to sit on the side as if he was watching the scenery.

After a while, the old housekeeper rushed over, Baochai bowed to him, let him sit down and whispered softly: "I have brought some dowry servants here, and the servants around me should do whatever they want. It’s just that there are two accompanying rooms and a few girls and servants, please take care of the arrangement.” The old steward nodded and said: “The family is short of manpower, since the second grandma has brought people, she must be very trustworthy. It's much better than buying from outside. I dare to ask, what can they do?" At this time, the servants who came as a dowry were standing in the yard with their hands down, and Bai Lu pointed to the old housekeeper one by one: "This They are Mr. and Mrs. Xue, who are good cooks; this is Mr. Wang and Gouer, who can take care of flowers and plants." He pointed to the servant and the maid again, and the old housekeeper said, "The ones who are good at cooks go to the kitchen. How about the second grandma? arrange?"

Baochai said: "Then the original old people can't lose their jobs for nothing. Otherwise, let them divide all the helpers below them into two shifts to work alternately. If there is something wrong with one shift, they will only find this one." What about the leader of the group talking?" The old housekeeper nodded in response: "It's a good idea, and you can tell the kitchen staff to rest without talking about food. If there is such a good flower and tree, just take care of the yard. We Originally, it was just to find someone randomly, or not to call a gardener from outside to clean up the yard. It would be better to have a special person take care of it. The servants are on the porter to listen to, and the maids are still in the yard to serve the second grandma. Only one, two The master has never used a maid, so the little girl can only serve grandma alone." Baochai thought for a while, the courtyard is so big, there is no room for so many people, since Shen Yu didn't use a maid before, there is no need to add such a maid for nothing. These people were awkward in front of him, so in the end only two rough envoys were left in the yard, and the old housekeeper took the rest, or arranged for sewing or sweeping, no one was idle after all. .

After arranging this matter, Bailu took the account book and followed Baochai to the library.The old housekeeper took the key with her earlier, just order a few servants to work hard.Baochai called to open the dowry box, and carefully blended the dowry list one by one. It took a whole morning just to check the items. Put the silk and satin outside for tight use, and wait until later when you are free.

When she turned back to the small flower hall, Shen Yu was standing and waiting, and when she saw her come out, she smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go find grandpa for dinner together." Anyway, it's not far after two trips, and the road is familiar, so Baochai went with him again. Going to the main courtyard, I asked on the way: "Should I also have dinner with my grandfather?" Shen Yu replied: "It's okay if you don't want to go, but there are few people in the family, and it's more lively when you get together Baochai immediately said: "Then use it in the past, just walk around, and the cook doesn't have to run around, and you can still look at your grandfather, killing three birds with one stone." Shen Yu saw that she was willing to get close to her grandfather and didn't mind coming here Naturally, I respect the trouble of walking away even more.On the other hand, Mr. Shen saw his grandson and his daughter-in-law running over again at noon, he was immediately dissatisfied and said: "Can't you stop for a while? I'm annoyed if you don't bother me back and forth." After eating, the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes. The man rushed back: "Can you let the old man steal a few bites from me, and beat him when he comes again!"

Shen Yuhun didn't care: "How many people are looking forward to their children and grandchildren seeing the sky to surround themselves, and I'll just take a few days off to surround you well, and I won't think about it later." "Bah" he said, at this moment he could only hold the cat and turn around angrily, not looking at him, the older he was, the more he looked like a child.

The author has something to say: the second update, to make up for yesterday's.
