[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

After Mrs. Zhen came out of Xue's house, she went to find Wanrong, who was working as a supervisor in Ziyu's house.

When Mrs. Zhen and Wanrong first arrived at Xue's house, Mrs. Xue gave each of them two horses of good material. If you don't have the temperament to live, I will help Wanrong do it.

Jia Yucun opened a silk shop, and from time to time, he would take some good materials to honor the Xue family, and with the subsidy from Baochai, the Xue family still had a lot of private houses, and the few pieces of material that he took out instantly made Wanrong look beautiful. conquered.

Wanrong is at the age of love and beauty, wishing to change ten sets of clothes a day, she thinks that Mrs. Zhen is too slow to make a set in three or two days, so she grabs Ziyu to help herself with the work.

Wanrong herself is not good at needlework, she just entered the door, but it doesn't hinder her from commenting, she comes to stare at Ziyu to help her make clothes during the day, pointing and pointing, and often makes some weird requests.

Ziyu was about to be annoyed to death, since she was bought by the Xue family, she has been living a very easy life, the masters are good-tempered and very kind, how could they imagine that such a savage girl would be killed halfway.

Wanrong curled her lips, snatched the work from Ziyu's hand, spread it out and shook it, pointed to an embroidery and said, "Ziyu, how can yellow thread be used here? Gold thread should be used. The one on the second cousin's head Have you ever seen a bead flower? The stamen in the middle is woven with gold thread, that's the most beautiful one, it's golden under the sun."

Ziyu held back her anger and replied kindly: "Gold thread is precious, I don't have such a thing here."

"You're just a housewife, so it's strange to have something good! Wait, I'll ask my cousin to ask for it. You demolish this place first, and redo it later."

Because Xiangling is older than Baochai, Wanrong sometimes uses the first cousin and second cousin to distinguish.

Wanrong hurriedly ran to Xiangling to ask for gold thread. Xiangling was busy arranging the dishes for tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, talking with the cook and discussing the menu.

Wanrong entered the room and listened to a few words, then interjected: "My cousin is still working so hard while pregnant, what about Aunt Xue? Why doesn't she make arrangements?"

Xiangling didn't like this very much, so she asked the cook to go down first, and then said to Wanrong as if teaching: "How can I let my mother-in-law be troubled? When you become a relative in the future, you should also be filial to your elders. You can't be a shopkeeper and leave everything behind." Throw it to the mother-in-law."

"Got it." Wanrong listened impatiently to the teaching, but also a little unconvinced, she pouted, "You don't need to cook the stove yourself, but you just look at the menu, and you won't get tired."

"Oh." Xiangling sighed softly, then turned around and asked why she came.

Wan Rong immediately said with a smile: "The two pieces of material that Aunt Xue gave me are really beautiful. The purple jade is going to embroider a chrysanthemum on it, and the ordinary silk thread is not suitable at all. Cousin, give me some gold thread."

"..." Xiangling couldn't help but gasped, and used gold thread to embroider the whole flower, how could she figure it out?

Seeing that Xiangling was silent, Wanrong thought she was being petty and reluctant, so she stretched out her hand to push Xiangling, and said coquettishly: "Cousin, my good cousin, you don't even want to part with a few gold threads, do you? You are the only one like me." Cousin."

Wanrong's attack was not serious, she pushed Xiangling like a tumbler, swaying back and forth, just as Mrs. Zhen walked in, she was shocked immediately, she rushed forward and threw Wanrong away, very unhappy Said: "She is pregnant, how can you push people like this?"

Wanrong was suddenly torn away from behind, the force was not small, Wanrong staggered two steps before she stood still, turned her head and found that it was her aunt, she was immediately angry.

The person who obeys her at home and loves her very much will immediately know whether she is superior or not when she sees her biological daughter.

"Xiangling, how are you?" Mrs. Zhen asked anxiously while supporting Xiangling.

Xiangling supported her forehead for a while, then smiled at her: "Mother, I'm fine."

Mrs. Zhen was relieved, she only remembered Wanrong at this moment, and when she looked back, she was really standing there angrily, not hiding her anger.

Mrs. Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled flatteringly: "Where did you hurt? I was too impatient just now."

It's okay if she didn't mention it, but Wanrong felt even more wronged when she mentioned it, and she looked at Xiangling accusingly with tears in her eyes.

Xiangling sighed in her heart, beckoned Wanrong to come over, and said in a good voice: "You want gold thread, but I don't have it here, even my aunt doesn't have such a big deal, she only uses gold thread for a few sets of clothes when she goes out as a guest." It's just for embroidery. I have a bundle of silver thread, do you want it?"

Xiangling wanted to calm things down, she was afraid that Wanrong would hate her mother, and she didn't want Wanrong to be a pushy temper, knowing that she was taking advantage of it now, she said: "Cousin, go ask your mother-in-law, she must have it."

This time there was no need for Xiangling to retort, Mrs. Zhen said first: "She is the mother-in-law, and your cousin is the daughter-in-law. Only the daughter-in-law respects the mother-in-law. How can anyone search for it the other way around? Don't say that again, if It will be difficult for your cousin to be heard."

Xiangling was grateful to her mother-in-law for coming to him, then took Wanrong's hand, and said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, our family has only been up for less than half a year..."

Then he talked about how the Xue family was prosperous at the beginning, how it fell into trouble later, and how it gradually recovered by relying on Baochai.

These were not written in the letter at the beginning, and in addition to the remoteness of my hometown, the news of ransacking the house would not be spread there at all--for the country people, they only care about who the current prince is and who the next emperor is. Who, this kind of aristocratic house raiding is far less interesting than a sow in the village who gave birth to twelve in one litter.

It took about half an hour to finish the speech, and Mrs. Zhen sighed again and again, telling Xiangling to cherish blessings.Wanrong didn't feel much touched in her heart, she just felt like listening to a play, which was quite pleasant, because the plot was too tortuous.

Wanrong was surprised to hear it for a while, but forgot about the unhappiness with her aunt just now, Xiangling went into the room and took out a bunch of silver thread, and handed it to Wanrong: "This is the best thread here, you can use it .”

Although it's not gold, it's still silver, it's better than nothing, Wanrong is no longer picky this time, she quickly picked it up, and happily went to Ziyu, asking her to change to this silver thread and start embroidering again.

Mrs. Zhen came out and dragged Wanrong to her room, wanting to have a private conversation with her, Ziyu took the opportunity to rest for a while, so she put down her sewing and went to the main room to serve Xiangling.

"Young Mistress, isn't that bundle of silver thread prepared to make new clothes for the Young Master?"

The second line of gold and silver is the most precious, and Xiangling herself is reluctant to use it. Last time, she only bought two bunches, one for Xue's dress, and the other for Xue Pan, who was doing business outside. , always dress decently.

"Ugh!"

Xiangling began to sigh again, just as Ziyu was holding tea for her, seeing that Ziyu's fingers were red and swollen, Xiangling's face was not very good-looking, and she asked her: "How many hours a day do you do needlework? Why not?" Do you know how to take a break?"

Since Ziyu became a housekeeper, Xue bought a few servants again, and now Xiangling is served by a girl named Chunyu, but Ziyu only circles around Xiangling every day, which is rare these two days She came over, that's why Xiangling asked.

"Miss Wanrong is in a hurry, so I have to rush to work for her." Ziyu couldn't help complaining.

If she stayed up all night making clothes for the old lady, the young master, or the young mistress, Ziyu would have no complaints. A cousin girl who just came from the countryside regards herself as her master, why should Ziyu put up with her?

When Xiangling heard this, she wanted to sigh again, and instantly remembered how many times she had sighed this day?So he quickly swallowed his sigh and appeased Ziyu: "You just need to help with the two things in your hands. If she continues to order you around, you can say that the young master ordered you to do other things."

"Okay, I'll listen to the young lady, and I'll say that next time."

Xiangling is comforting Ziyu here, and Mrs. Zhen is also comforting Wanrong at the other end. Mrs. Zhen whispered softly: "Auntie was too impatient just now and didn't pay attention for a while. Don't be angry, I will accompany you."

At any rate, Wanrong still remembered who she relied on to make the trip to Beijing. She smiled and said sweetly, "It's all because I'm ignorant. How can I blame my aunt? Fortunately, my aunt pulled me away. If my cousin has There are three long and two short, and I don’t want to live anymore.”

"Good boy, just pay more attention next time." Mrs. Zhen has no heart and is the best person to fool. When Wanrong said this, Mrs. Zhen not only didn't blame her, but regretted that she made too much fuss at that time.

She sat down next to Wanrong, and talked about her plan: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, your parents still miss you for some reason, I think I will stay for another three to five days, and then we will go back."

"What?" Wanrong stood up abruptly, "So anxious? My second cousin invited me to her house to play, and I haven't even been there yet."

"Stupid child, she's talking politely, can't you hear it? The officials have strict rules, and it's uncomfortable to go there. It's better to go home early before the weather cools down."

"I won't go back." Wanrong pouted, with a full face of resistance, "You want to go back by yourself, I won't go back anyway. It's okay to ask for anything in the countryside. Isn't it enough to nest there for more than ten years? It's hard to come to Beijing See the world..."

Mrs. Zhen felt distressed immediately. She watched Wanrong grow from a milk doll to her present age. She hugged her, coaxed her, washed her diapers, and spent a lot of energy on Wanrong. Seeing her sad?

Mrs. Zhen pulled La Wanrong's sleeve, and said earnestly: "Now that the matter is up to now, I won't hide it from you. Before I came out, my sister-in-law told me that if there is a suitable family in Beijing, I will marry you here. Ling as a companion. This is the top priority of the girl's family, and I dare not neglect it for a moment, and I have been inquiring about it for the past two days."

When she heard that she was talking about kissing herself, Wanrong's face blushed immediately, and she asked shyly, "Then...how did the inquiry go?"

"Sigh." This time it was Xue's turn to sigh, "It is because there is no suitable one that I am in a hurry to take you home. Don't worry, the marriage is determined by fate, and the family that the elder brother considered before is very good. , there is a shop in the town, you will enjoy the blessings when you marry, and it is close to your natal family..."

"How can this be the same?" Wanrong interrupted her, "Is it the same thing to have a shop in the capital and a shop in a small town? His shop can be bought for 30 taels of silver, and the capital costs ten times that." You may not even be able to buy it. Auntie, I don’t want to go back.”

If she hadn't come this time, Wanrong would have married that man willingly. Although she had only been in Beijing for a few days, once she had seen the Xue family's clothing costs, and looked back at that family, she would really be a pheasant Compared with Phoenix, how could it be worth seeing.

"Auntie, I want to stay in Beijing and be with my cousin." At a critical juncture, Wanrong showed her coquettish ability to the fullest, leaning on Mrs. Zhen's body, "Let's just leave, leaving my cousin alone, Aunt, can you bear it? No matter how kind Aunt Xue is, the cousin is not her own, so how could it be any better? And the cousin’s husband, they all have Ziyu as their housemate now. I still don’t know how to be wronged! Aunt, if we stay longer, I don’t ask too much, I don’t ask the other party to be rich and wealthy, just being as good as my cousin’s husband is enough.”
