Chapter 12: Blocking the Road
Daiyu was lying on the bed in the blue gauze cupboard in Jia's mother's room, and Zijuan asked with concern, "It's still early, why is the girl resting?"
"Hmm", Daiyu didn't answer again. The pen and fun www.biquge.info turned sideways and stacked them into the bed.
Zijuan couldn't, so she had to pull the quilt for Daiyu and beckoned the snow goose to go to the house and wait outside.
It's bustling outside the house right now. Sanchun and Baoyu were gathered together, discussing the aunt of the Xue family and the Zhou family who were going to live in their house for a while.
"I heard that Aunt Xue's daughter is called Baochai, but she is a month older than the second sister!"
Tanchun also said what he knew, "I heard that I am coming to participate in the small election in the palace!"
"To be able to participate in the palace election, the talent must be good. Didn't Sister Yuanchun also participate in the small election!"
Baoyu heard that the sister of the Xue family, who had not yet seen her, was going to enter the palace, and thought of Yuan Chun again, so she made a fuss: "My sisters are not good at playing together, and I always think about what it means to enter the palace, but I can't come out of the palace gate as soon as I enter the palace gate, and I can't see my relatives for many years......"
Rongguo's mansion is centered on Baoyu, and everyone came to persuade this trouble!
The attacker understands Baoyu, "Good second master, Miss Xue may not be able to choose, she can always play with you when the time comes! Isn't there still a brother and sister of the Zhou family? I heard that he is the same age as us, and the second master was still less people to play at that time?"
Seeing that Baoyu didn't seem to believe it, he talked about Yingchun again: "The second master just doesn't believe me, the second girl's words can always be believed, right?"
Yingchun is the title of "wooden man", and it can be seen on weekdays. The sisters were playing together, and she was mostly just watching, and rarely spoke! she didn't want to attack others and lead the fire to herself, and when she saw Baoyu looking at her, she had to respond.
"Hmm!"
……
The bustle outside the house has nothing to do with Daiyu. Since the morning greeting, I haven't eaten much, and I feel depressed and unhappy!
Think about it, it's been almost three years since I arrived at Rongguo Mansion. They all still live in the blue gauze cupboard. There wasn't even a separate place to live.
Aunt Xue and Zhou siblings both have a separate yard. And he still lives in a small blue yarn cupboard.
Next to it is Baoyu's residence, and it is said that "men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven," and the reputation of the daughter's family is very important. If you don't say it yourself, isn't Jia's mother still clear?
I thought of it again before coming to Rongguo Mansion. He was also raised by his father as a man. is the reason for coming to Rongguofu, and I also told myself. Father Lin Hai said to himself that Rongguo Mansion is his maternal grandfather's home. Now it is also a little difficult for my father to be in office. But it needs to rely on Rongguofu.
Even when he came to the house, he was cautious. Nor did I dare to raise anything
Objection. Even the maid didn't dare to bring more, only Snow Goose and Mama Wang. I also thought that if I brought more maids, would I be able to live alone in a small courtyard?
The people in the Rongguo Mansion were all talking about the Xue family and the Zhou siblings. And the central person they talk about, unaware that someone is talking about them.
Because the Xue family's boat collided with Zhou Muqing, the boat branch needed to rest and recuperate. So they stopped at the nearest town. This is a nameless town, because it is the only way to enter Beijing. It is not far from the capital, but it is quite prosperous!
I asked Aunt Xue who the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion was? Zhou Muqing took Brother Feng to the town to buy gifts for everyone. During this period, Xue Baochai's mother and son were also called. was rejected by Baochai.
The two sisters and brothers took the two maids, Ziyuan and Bai Su, and walked around casually in politics. When I saw something I liked, I bought it.
This town is quite large, because there is a dock for boats, and there is a lot of goods coming and going from the south to the north. Zhou Muqing even saw a shop selling imported Western products!
I arrived with Zhou Mufeng, inside the shop. The two of them picked and chose at random. Zhou Mufeng picked up a round thing made of silver, with a silver chain hanging from it, raised his head and asked the shopkeeper, "What is this?" ”
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties. With two glances at his beard, he saw someone asking, looked at the things in Brother Feng'er's hand, and explained proudly: "This is from the other side of the sea." Said to be those red-haired men in the west. Look at the things of the hour!"
The shopkeeper also didn't know much about it, Zhou Muqing came over and saw it, but Brother Feng had a pocket watch in his hand. Then he said to Brother Feng: "You will be looking for something, this is a foreign product from the West, it seems to be something called a pocket watch." That chain can be attached to the buttons of the garment. ”
As he spoke, he opened the cover of the watch to reveal the surface of the hand engraved inside, "Can you see that there is a circle of lines of different lengths inside?
At this time, a guest next to him also asked, "What are the three lines that are connected together of different lengths and will still move?"
Zhou Muqing looked up and saw that the person who came was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was handsome, wearing a shirt made of blue silk after the rain, a little cynical, and always gave people a ruffian-like feeling!
The person who came looked at him with interest, Zhou Muqing didn't care, but Zhou Mufeng and Bai Su Ziyuan felt that this young man was not polite at all. The three of them stood in front of Zhou Muqing, cutting off the young man's scrutiny.
You are thinking of teasing, Zhou Muqing opened his mouth and said, "You don't understand if you talk too much, just talk about the shortest line, he walks a big grid for half an hour, and walks a circle for six hours!"
At noon, everyone nodded knowingly. Said he understood. Even the shopkeeper also praised and said, "It's still the girl who said it clearly! I think when the owner asked people to bring the goods, but I was confused, and it took me half a day to understand!"
Zhou Mu inquired, I heard that there were three such pocket watches in the store, you asked the price again, but it was 1500 taels of silver, and it was also a little reluctant, and I felt that it was troublesome to look at the sky and estimate the time every day, so I discussed it with Zhou Mufeng again!
"Since my sister likes it, I will buy it!" Zhou Mufeng felt that the silver was expensive, and it couldn't match his sister's liking. It's hard to buy money and it's a good thing, since you can afford it, you can buy it!
The four of them chose some unique gadgets in this shop, and the shopkeeper erased the odds, and finally paid 2,000 taels of silver.
When I got out of the store, I was about to go back to the boat, but I didn't want to be blocked by someone.
The person who stood in the way was the young man who had just been in the shop, "Can the girl and the little brother take a step to talk?"
Zhou Mufeng was a little angry when someone blocked his way, and when he saw that it was the young man who had no manners in the shop just now, he couldn't help but shout:
"Why are you so rude, you just stared at my sister, and now you are coming to block our way, are you idle and bored?"
