The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

Xiaohong sent Sister-in-law Zhang away, and when she came back, she asked, "Girl, what happened to you and Sister-in-law Zhang?"

Jia Wan leaned lazily on the chair, and said with a smile: "She said that their mother and daughter are willing to serve me, but they don't want to sign the contract of sale!"

Xiao Hong raised her eyes immediately, "What, she refuses to sign the deed of sale, how can this work! I think she is a good person, who would have thought that she would be so unruly. The girl agreed to her?"

Jia Wan laughed, and then repeated the story told by Sister-in-Law Zhang, and Xiaohong felt a sense of empathy, "If this is true, then this Sister-in-law is too pitiful. When I was young, I was unlucky, but it was so easy to meet a beloved one." , but made this misfortune again! It can be called ill-fated!"

Jia Wan smiled and played with the beads in her hand, "You also said that if it is true!"

Xiaohong said in surprise: "Young lady, you mean that what the sister-in-law said is false?"

"Half-truth, half-false!" Jia Wan sighed, "The part about her life experience is probably true, and the part about getting along with her husband is probably true, but what about the other? It's probably not true, especially about the life experience of that husband. That paragraph. If what she said is true, and her husband really fell in love with her at first sight, and he is so speculative, how could she not even know about his life experience? Moreover, there are many loopholes in what she said, so we can't get to the bottom of it."

Xiaohong frowned tightly, "Girl, if that's the case, then why do you want to keep their mother and child?"

Jia Wan sighed, and said: "It's not for anything else, I just feel sorry for the girl. And although the sister-in-law's words are not true, she has a mother's affection. As long as she doesn't cause me trouble, that's all. "

Xiaohong also sighed, "I also thought of that girl because of her pity, so I don't know if I caused trouble for the girl!"

Seeing her frown, Jia Wan smiled, "It's not worth your frowning. She's just a weak woman with no power to restrain her, so can she cause any trouble? You told me to let people pay more attention to it." gone."

Xiaohong nodded, "I see, don't worry, girl."

Su Niang's wish was fulfilled, and she went back contentedly. The girl was still awake, and when she saw her back, she opened her arms to hug her.Su Niang stretched out her hands and hugged the girl in her arms, "My son, you will be able to serve the girl tomorrow. By the way, the girl named you Jiaqi. From now on, you will have It's the name, Zhang Jiaqi."

"Jiaqi?" The girl murmured the name in her mouth, and then laughed, "This name is good, I like it!"

Su Niang hugged her daughter, and smiled contentedly, "Mom now only wants my wedding to be good, and I don't care about anything else." Family and country feuds, grievances, right and wrong, are all men's business, and their orphans What's the matter with widowed mothers!

On the second day, Su Niang went up to the second floor with Jiaqi, who was dressed up, and went to Jia Wan's place, "Jiaqi, hurry up and greet the girl."

Jiaqi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Wan neatly, "Jiaqi met the girl."

Jia Wan hurriedly asked Xiaohong to help her up, "Get up quickly. Su Niang, I have already asked Xiaohong to clean up your and Jiaqi's place, so you can move in today. It's not convenient for people to come and go."

Su Niang couldn't help but say, "Thank you, miss. Thank you, miss."

Jia Wan was eating breakfast, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaohong, you have someone accompany Su Niang to carry the luggage. Jiaqi, come here and have breakfast with me! You guys must have not eaten yet since you came so early! "

Jiaqi looked back at Su Niang, Su Niang was about to refuse, Xiao Hong smiled and said, "Su Niang, let's go, you let Jiaqi accompany the girl to eat, if someone is with you, the girl will taste better when she eats it."

Seeing this, Su Niang had no choice but to nod slightly to Jiaqi. Seeing this, Jiaqi sat down sideways just now. Jia Wan saw it and smiled slightly. It seems that Su Niang and Jiaqi talked a lot last night! "Come on, this steamed stuffed bun tastes good, you can eat it! And this round-grained rice porridge, give Jiaqi a bowl."

Jiaqi had never eaten these things before, at the first taste, she thought they were delicious, and now she didn't care about what her mother had mentioned to her last night, so she ate them on her own.Jia Wan watched from the side, laughing non-stop. She had lost her appetite due to the exhaustion of the journey, but she unknowingly ate more.

Seeing that Jiaqi ate a lot, Jia Wan saw that she wanted to eat more, so she quickly reached out her hand to stop her, "It's not that I don't want you to eat, but I can't be greedy. If it hurts my stomach, it will be bad. I won't eat it in the future." It's not here."

Jiaqi lowered her head in embarrassment, "Girl, I was wrong."

After Jia Wan finished rinsing her mouth, she took her hand and walked out, "It's not advisable to sit for a long time after a meal, let's go out for a walk!" Then she asked her carefully what she likes to do and play on weekdays , Have you ever read a book or read a word?

Jiaqi answered one by one, "My mother usually doesn't let me go outside, she only lets me stay in the house. There is nothing interesting on weekdays, so my mother taught me to do some red knitting to pass the time."

Jia Wan herself was not skilled in embroidery, so she was very interested, "Oh? You can take it with you? Let me see!"

Jiaqi timidly pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, "Look, girl, this is what I embroidered, if it's not good, girl just wait and see!"

Jia Wan took it and looked carefully, and found that the embroidery was really good, which shows that she has worked hard for many years.A blooming camellia is embroidered on the veil, camellia?Jia Wan remembered that she seemed to have seen a camellia hairpin on Su Niang's head that day.She vaguely remembered that the provincial flower of Yunnan Province in later generations was the camellia, and today's camellias are also planted in the Yunnan-Guizhou generation, especially the Dali generation.Could it be that Jiaqi's life experience should be on this?

"Girl? Girl?" Seeing Jia Wan staring at her handkerchief in a daze, Jia Qi was at a loss.

Jia Wan came back to her senses and said with a smile: "The embroidery is really good, it's no wonder that you have such a skill at such a young age. Have you ever seen a camellia? The embroidery is so realistic?"

Jiaqi said with a smile: "Mother likes camellias, these are the embroidery patterns my mother drew for me!"

Jia Wan smiled, and sure enough, Jiaqi saw this and asked, "If the girl doesn't mind, I'll embroider a handkerchief for the girl too. I wonder what pattern the girl likes?"

Jia Wan said with a smile: "It's a good feeling. But, if you want, help me embroider a bellyband! I wanted to embroider a bellyband for my younger brother who I have never met, but I am clumsy and I barely made it for my parents. work, but children's close-fitting things can't make up for it. Would you like to?"

After hearing this, Jiaqi faintly became excited, "Of course I am willing. What kind of trick does the girl like?"

Jia Wan took Jiaqi's hand, "Come with me, I don't have a lot of patterns! Let's choose one with a good meaning. For example, Yu Leaps over the Dragon's Gate."

After packing up, Su Niang came back and saw Jia Wan and Jia Qi sitting in front of the window and burying their heads in sewing. The two talked a few words from time to time, and Su Niang smiled gratifiedly.

Xiaohong came over and said with a smile: "Our girl is most afraid of needlework. Although I have invited the embroiderer to teach me, but I don't know why. People who have seen the pictures drawn by the girl say that they are good, they say they are spiritual, and they can be embroidered." What comes out, when others see it, they can only say one thing, well-behaved."

Su Niang lowered her head and smiled, "I don't know what the girl likes to eat, sweet or sour? Let me make some food for the girl!"

Xiaohong smiled and said: "It's a good feeling. We girls are not picky eaters, we like to eat delicious food. I don't know if it's because I'm tired from the boat for the past few days, so I have a little loss of appetite. It's not bad to use it this morning. "

Su Niang lowered her head and thought for a while, "Girl has a loss of appetite, let me make some appetizers for her at noon!"

Xiaohong nodded, "Then please trouble Mrs. Zhang."

When it was time for lunch, Jia Wan looked at the dishes on the table, "Who made this, it's not common."

Xiaohong smiled and said: "These are all made by Su Niang. She heard that the girl has a poor appetite, so she specially made them for the girl. This one is steamed chicken wings with chopped peppers, this one is fried with pickled peppers, and this one is tenderloin in tomato sauce. This one is stewed lotus root with coriander, and this one is fat beef in sour soup for appetizers. Girl, try it, is it delicious?"

Jia Wan looked at the table full of dishes, and her mouth was drooling, "Quickly, serve me a bowl of rice, these, I have to eat them! It's a good time!"

Xiaohong smiled and said, "Jiaqi and Su Niang are together!"

Jia Wan smiled and said, "Have you eaten yet? If not, invite them to come over and eat together!"

"Girl, don't worry about them. The regular dishes for the two of them have already been delivered, so I think they'll have eaten it now. Girl, hurry up and eat!" Xiaohong persuaded.

Jia Wan nodded and began to eat.After eating a meal, I was sweating profusely, but it was extremely fun.She rinsed her mouth and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, "Oh, it's so refreshing!"

Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost eaten, especially the steamed chicken wings with chopped pepper, the stewed lotus root with cold coriander, and the sour soup, she ate the most, and said with a happy smile: "If the girl likes it, let Su Niang eat it tonight." Keep doing it. She's pretty good at cooking!"

Jia Wan nodded, "Well, I suddenly want to eat sweet and sour pork. Ask Su Niang if she can make it? If she can't, let the cook make this dish at night. By the way, I will give it to Su Niang in the evening. He Jiaqi also sent a copy."

"Hey! Got it." Xiaohong replied with a smile.

Over there, Su Niang and Jiaqi looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, and were a little stunned, "All these are for us?"

Su Niang asked the woman who brought the food.

The mother-in-law said with a smile: "Yes, this is the regular dish for your mother and daughter. The girl said that Jiaqi took the recipe for the second-class girl in our mansion, but the stewed elbow with ham was ordered by the little red girl. Here it is for you Additional vegetables. Use them quickly!"

Jiaqi couldn't look away when she got the stewed elbow with ham, "Mom, can I eat it?"

"Eat, eat!" Su Niang's eyes were a little red, she looked down at the dishes on the table and wiped her tears, "Come on, finish the chicken soup first." Su Niang filled a bowl of soup for Jiaqi first.

"Mom, you eat too." Jiaqi said with meat in her mouth, inarticulate.
