[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Baochai smiled and told Mrs. Xue that she had made money again.

She feels great.

If this trend continues, the 200 tael contract of selling herself is just around the corner, and she doesn't have to put such a heavy burden on her unborn son.

After all, it was her own child, even though his father was hard to describe, she still couldn't help wanting to love him more.

Xue was dumbfounded, stood up abruptly after a while, and asked in a voiceless voice, "You actually went out to sell things?"

Before, her daughter only earned five cents for making a net, which was enough to make her feel distressed, but now she is showing her face and setting up a stall on the street, how can she bear it?

The teaching that Mrs. Xue received since she was a child is that women should stay out of the house and not in the second house. Even if they are forced to make a living and take up some odd jobs in private, they should stay at home peacefully. How can they be like those careless people in the countryside? , Do you treat a girl as a man?

"Hmm." Baochai was so excited that she couldn't comprehend the turmoil in her mother's heart, but Mrs. Xue had always cared about her, and she didn't want Mrs. Xue to worry about herself, so she waved her hand casually, "Not far, just Outside the back door, I only stood there for a short while."

It was less than two hours before and after, which is much easier than the workload of setting up a street stall for at least four hours a day when she was back then.

Ying'er saw that his wife's complexion was not good, but the girl was ignorant, and her slightly upturned face was full of pride. She was afraid that the wife would scold the girl, so she hurriedly chimed in: "Don't worry, madam, it's my job to go out and set up a stall." From now on, the girl only needs to weave the net in the house. I went out for a while yesterday, but I didn’t have the ability to sell any of them. The girl was anxious, so I stayed with you today. The girl is really amazing In just a short while, it was sold for more than one or two taels of silver."

Xiangling was also afraid that his wife would be angry, so she hurriedly supported Xue Shi's arm, smiled and said to Ying'er: "Miss taught you this time, you have to study hard, the injury on the girl's head is not healed yet."

Ying'er was full of excitement and nodded heavily: "I have almost learned how to greet guests and how to sell my own products. I will never let girls go out and work hard." After she finished speaking, she sighed and continued with emotion , "The girl is really too smart, she knows how to do business because the master taught her well back then."

Back then, Mr. Xue found that his son was really stupid and not suitable for business, so he had to teach Baochai all kinds of skills carefully.

When the girl mentioned the master, Xue's expression was startled. The child without a mother is pitiful, and the child without a father is even more pitiful. There is no one to support the family.

Thinking of this, she couldn't bear to criticize Baochai anymore, and she looked nostalgic: "My master is a good businessman. He was still there at that time, and the family business grew bigger and bigger. Later... If it wasn't for Pan'er's incompetence, how could he take a step forward?" What if you are defeated in this field?"

Her eyes were red, and she looked at Baochai lovingly: "Fortunately, mother still has you, you have imitated your father's cleverness completely."

Baochai was afraid that she would repeat those old-fashioned truths, so she hastily smiled at her flatteringly.

Xue was still a little angry in her heart, ignored her daughter, turned her head and glared at Yinger: "You are also a girl, it is always bad to show your face."

Yinger giggled twice.

Compared with silver, publicity is definitely more important.The girl said that the most important thing about setting up a street stall is not to lose face or open your mouth.

"Mother." Baochai supported Xue Shi to sit down, and slowly reasoned with her, explaining her, "There are many maids and girls walking on the street, your way of thinking is too old..."

Xue interrupted her with a sneer: "A girl is a girl, and the others are daughters of small families. Can you be like them?"

After hearing this, Baochai retorted plausibly without even thinking about it: "What's the difference? I'm not as good as others now. After careful calculation, I'm just a girl now."

Xue's breathing stagnated, and he was speechless for a while.

Baochai was afraid of making her angry, so he hurriedly appeased her: "The most important thing in business is the source of customers. We are now poor and poor, so we have to work harder to attract customers. Wait a little later and develop these nearby people into our customers." Now, Ying'er doesn't need to go out to set up a stall, just wait at home for someone to come to invite her."

Xue's heart was depressed.

Baochai was very filial since she was a child, and listened to her words very much. Even though she was unhappy about her marriage with Baoyu, she didn't say anything, obeyed her own arrangement, and married quietly like a thief.

This was the first time that Baochai refuted her words like this.

She lowered her head, and her voice didn't fluctuate: "It's just up to you to decide."

With Xue's appearance, it was obvious that she was still angry, so Baochai could only continue to persuade her with a good voice.

"Mother, I made a net profit of one or two taels of silver in just a short while in the morning. Although it took a lot of effort to compile it, no matter what, I can earn two or three taels of silver a month, right? I remember that Yingchun and the others have only two or three taels of silver every month." Two. I am much stronger than them now!"

When mentioning the people and things in Rongguo Mansion, Xue's heart sank.

The emperor acted resolutely, ransacking the homes of Ningrong and Rongfu, and all the masters were rushed to exile in the bitter cold frontier, but she didn't make it in time to see her off - Baochai was not good at that time, and she couldn't take care of herself.

Compared with those who were exiled, Xue deeply felt that her daughter is pretty good as she is now, and she is so capable, even if she is trapped in the backyard, she is many times better than other girls.

Mrs. Xue thanked Jia Yucun again in her heart, then said to Baochai with a smile, "My daughter is really capable. It's my mother who wanted to go wrong. You will remind me more in the future."

Baochai was also very happy to see that she could still listen to her advice, so she flirted with Mrs. Xue for a while.

Xiangling and Yinger joined in the fun and said a lot of auspicious and festive words, which made the room burst into laughter.

……

Chunhua went to the kitchen to fetch water for his wife to make tea. Hearing the bursts of laughter, she hurriedly hid aside and listened to the corner.

After listening for a while, I finally figured it out.

She neither asked nor went in, she went to the kitchen to fetch water with a calm expression, made tea and served it to Fan Jiaoxing.

"Ma'am, I just heard that Baochai made money."

"Make money? How can they make money? Don't you hear it wrong?" Fan Jiaoxing didn't believe it at all.There were just four women, no house or shop, and Baochai didn't even have a coat when he first arrived, which was embarrassing.

They have lived in for several days, and they have not seen their relatives and friends from the past come to help.In Fan Jiaoxing's eyes, these people are slightly better than the beggars on the street.

"It's true. Ma'am, listen to me..." Chunhua moved close to her ear, winked and said a lot.

After Fan Jiaoxing listened, she put down the teacup, her face darkened.

One tael of silver doesn't sound like much, but the two big girls beside me only have four hundred cash per month.Baochai and Ying'er are obviously girls bought by the master, not to mention serving him, but secretly making money. This is because they didn't take her seriously.

She quickly calculated an account in her heart. According to this, Baochai can earn several taels a month, which really makes her jealous.

Jiao Xing has been a girl for others since she was a child, and she is used to it. She has a deep obsession with money.

This family has always been run by the master, even though Fan Jiaoxing is the stepmother, she can only receive a monthly subscription on time.Ever since the master suddenly decided to go back to the countryside a few days ago, Fan Jiaoxing understood that the family was poor, and she was afraid that even her monthly bills would not be distributed on time and by the number after returning to the hometown, so her temper became more and more stingy harsh.

Chunhua was eagerly agitating with a heart that feared that the world would not be chaotic. She hoped for a long time that her wife would not see her furious, and hurriedly added firewood to the side: "Madam, you can't spoil them. They opened the back door and do business in the street." If this gets out, others will say that there are no rules in this mansion."

Fan Jiaoxing's focus was different from that of others. She sneered, her face full of sarcasm: "It's the first time I see a lady who likes to show her face, and I have learned a lot."

After the words fell, I felt very happy in my heart, and after I had enough ridicule, I asked with a straight face and a serious face: "Is the back door closed now? Don't let people in from outside indiscriminately."

Chunhua felt aggrieved in her heart, she liked to sue behind her back, but she didn't have the guts to spread rumors that Baochai had let outsiders in.

Because my master is not a waste, if she is found out, I am afraid that he will be unable to eat and walk around.

So, she pursed her lips and replied, "They still have a conscience, and they will close the door when they go out."

"Isn't that enough?" Fan Jiaoxing gave her a white look with her slender eyes, and said pointedly, "You have been asking Yinger to do things for you these few days, and I didn't say anything."

Ying'er is a real girl, and when Chunhua orders her, Fan Jiaoxing doesn't make a sound.

Baochai is not the case. Listening to the master's tone, she does not regard Baochai as a human being, so she is naturally unwilling to openly disobey the master's wishes.

Chunhua blushed, pouted and said, "Ma'am, should we just let it go? We don't have any income now." After a pause, she helped out with an idea, "Otherwise, let Baochai take the profits Hand over the money? Her deed of sale is still in the hands of the master, and even the person belongs to the master, not to mention her money."

The phrase "Even people belong to the master" made Fan Jiaoxing's ears extremely uncomfortable, and her heart was burning.

She frowned tightly, and reprimanded sharply: "What nonsense! You also know that the contract of sale is in the hands of the master, and not in my hands. What can I do?"

After losing her temper at Chunhua, Fan Jiaoxing sneered: "I think she is too busy, go and call her over, I have something to say."

Chunhua was secretly happy, thinking that Baochai was going to be in trouble, she squinted her eyes and smiled in response, and went out as quickly as if there were a hot wheel under her feet.

The door of Xue's room was ajar, Chunhua stood outside the threshold and knocked on the door.

Mrs. Xue turned her head to look, got up quickly, and greeted with a smile: "Miss Chunhua is here, please come in and sit down."

Chunhua squeezed out a tiny smile from the corner of her mouth, but her feet didn't move.

These few rooms are the smallest in the whole small courtyard, and the lighting is also the worst. Back then, the girls didn't bother to choose this room.

She glanced at Mrs. Xue, then raised her chin slightly and said to Xue Baochai, "Madam told you to go over." After leaving this sentence, she turned and left, as if standing still for a while would dirty her feet.
