Everything.

Ping'er's work is really reassuring, everything is packed up. I'm just waiting for Baoyu's exam to be over now, but I'm afraid I can't wait for his exam results to come out. I was surprised by the long nights and dreams, and the great enthusiasm that Sister Qiao showed for us to go to the south also surprised me. I can wait, she can't wait.

Thinking about it, her life is really monotonous, she can go out, although I said that she is going to recuperate, but for her, it is as happy as going to travel.

We're dealing with the last few bites, and the stuff isn't very valuable, but it's fun. I took a Western enamel candy box to tease Sister Qiao, the sugar box is very delicate, the sugar inside is long gone, but the box itself is a very delicate handicraft, after the lid is opened, the polishing inside is bright and clean, you can use it as a mirror.

"It's so beautiful. Sister Qiao sat in my arms and rubbed closer to me: "Mother, is this your dowry?"

I smiled and said, "This is what my grandfather gave me when I was a child." I don't remember what the sugar tasted like, but I kept the box. I'll give it to you now, when your sister Ping teaches you needlework, you can put those little bits and pieces of yours in here. ”

"Great, thank you!"

Sister Qiao and I continued to rummage through other things, and the box contained ...... It's Sister Feng's girlhood. Handkerchiefs, sugar boxes, some beautiful crystal beads and sparkling rain stones. Sister Qiao was very interested, she had never gotten such an elegant and interesting thing before. Therefore, Jiafu is a weasel mouse, and one generation is not as good as the next. I heard that Daiyu's mother, Jia Min, lived the life of a luxurious and magnificent daughter, and now they are just the glory of the last days of Jiafu, which is not as good as before. Tanchun is in charge of the house, desperately trying to save. But why didn't she understand? Even if she could save a few hundred taels of silver a year, what could she do? Those who want to be rich do not seek small profits, and on the contrary, they seek small profits everywhere, which is in fact a harbinger of imminent ruin.

"Mother, what is this?"

I looked down at her hand, it was a very delicately beaten handkerchief bag, I shook my head, and the impression was very vague. I don't have every memory of Sister Feng, I am very vague about what happened before she got married, these things that Sister Qiao is holding, if I want to look at them carefully for a while, I can also think of them with scales and half claws, but some of them may be too long and not an important thing, so I can't think about them at all.

"I don't really remember either, just open it and take a look. ”

Sister Qiao was born very well, and she was a very beautiful girl when she grew up. Even now, I can see the outline, the facial features, and the skin...... A beautiful embryo full of beauty. Of course she's a beauty, and she doesn't look at who gave birth to her!

I stroked her head, and the soft hair felt nice to the touch.

Sister Qiao opened the handkerchief bag, and there was a layer of silk cloth inside. Dismantling this layer again, Sister Qiao sighed softly, held the thing to show me, and asked, "Mother, is this yours?"

I was a little puzzled and looked at the emerald jade pendant. The jade is of excellent quality, soft and shiny, and warm to the touch. Napei is carved into the shape of a leaf, the veins are clear and distinct, lifelike, and if you don't look closely, you will think that it is a real leaf. But its lustrous hardness reminds us that it's not really a leaf, it's a very delicate ornament.

This jade pendant is worth a lot of money, and it is not at all the same grade as the other things in this box. Other things can be said to be the little girl's things, and they are not worth much, even if it is a set of exquisite porcelain dolls or crystal beads, it is limited. Even though this jade pendant is not priceless, look at the quality of this jade and look at the carving...... It's certainly not a toy, how could something so valuable be stored with some toys.

I took it over, flipped it over and looked at it carefully. The leaves are about two inches long, one inch wide, and about three minutes thick, and there is a small hole in the petioles, but there are no strings or strings on them. There are words engraved on the back of the leaf. I looked closely, and it was engraved with four lines of small characters and five-character Tang poems. Sister Qiao also knew a few words, but she couldn't recognize all the words on it, and asked me what was on it, and I read it in a low voice: "As soon as you enter the deep palace, you can't see spring." The inscription poem is on the flowers and leaves, and it is sent to the people. ”

Sister Qiao was confused and asked, "What does this mean?"

I only said: "This is a palace grievance poem, you are still young, you don't understand it now, but you will know it in the future." ”

Although I don't read much, I know the leaves of the Yugou poems, and the palace maid inscribed this poem on the leaves, and the leaves flowed out of the palace along the water, and finally concluded a good relationship. Since this poem is engraved on the leaves, and it is so exquisite, it seems to be a token of affection, even if the Wang family raised Sister Feng as a boy, they would never let her carry such a thing, so they had to wrap it up layer by layer and put it in a box. But where did it come from? I can't remember.

Forget it, maybe it was obtained by accident, and it has nothing to do with Sister Feng. But Sister Qiao is still young, this thing can't be used as a toy, I played with the leaf for a while, I couldn't think of a clue, so I stuffed it into the purse I was wearing.

Ping'er came in with a bag of clothes, which was packed for Sister Qiao. Although he told those people that he would only go for a year and a half, Ping'er understood the situation and knew that he would not come again. Therefore, Sister Qiao's four-season clothes are all soft and thick, and they are not particularly eye-catching. Me and hers were the same, and we didn't bring the gorgeous and rich clothes of the big red satin feather veil embroidered with gold and a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, but only picked up some simple and practical clothes and packed them up. There may be no conditions to do it again in the future, so I can bring everything I can bring, and I will change it in the future.

"Qiao'er doesn't have to bring so much, the child grows up fast, and the next year will ...... You may not even be able to wear it. ”

Sister Qiao tilted her head to look at me, her eyes flickering very innocently and cutely: "Are we going to go for so long?"

"Well, the south is very interesting, wouldn't it be nice to stay longer?"

"Good!"

Ping'er opened the burden for me to look at, and then tied it back up. The car we ordered can be picked up today, Ping'er has already weighed the wages and silver and handed it over to the little maid to take with me, I think of the convenience and comfort of the car, I really can't wait to get on the road sooner.

Think about it, counting two lifetimes, I really haven't been out a few times, I was sick in my last life, I lived in a deep house compound in this life, how wide and wide the world outside is, I only gallop and swim freely in my imagination.

In addition, with Wenxiu here, there is no need to worry about the safety of travel. Although Wenxiu is modest, I also know that her kung fu is by no means ordinary, and self-protection is more than enough.

Ping'er said, "Grandma just called Xiaohong to tell something? I saw her blushing and leaving." ”

I smiled and said, "She said she wanted to go back south with me, but I didn't agree." But I gave her a good place to go, and she was embarrassed. ”

The little girl outside said, "Grandma, Second Master Yun is here." ”

I said, "Okay, got it." ”

Ping'er was a little confused, not to blame for not knowing. If I hadn't read the book, I wouldn't have known about Jia Yun and Xiaohong's fate. Anyway, I'm leaving, so it's better to fulfill them before leaving. Jia Yun in the book was still a very righteous person after the defeat of Jiafu, Xiaohong and his affairs were considered immoral in this era, but I think there is nothing wrong with the two of them pursuing love.

I whispered to Ping'er, she was surprised at first, then she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, nodded and said, "Grandma don't worry, I know." ”

I said, "Then go and tell him first, and I'll tell him when you come back." Ping'er smiled and lifted the curtain, obviously she could fulfill a pair of lovers, and she was quite happy. I listened to her say a few words to Jia Yun in the outhouse, while hugging Sister Qiao, I was in a bit of a trance, I only felt as if I had forgotten something, but I couldn't remember what it was.
