Chapter 43: Selling Hairpins
Xianglan walked to the door of the ear room, vaguely heard Chunling's voice reprimanding Yindie, couldn't help but shake her head, and sighed secretly: "The young girls up and down in this house, a few don't have the heart to climb high branches, especially the uncle is handsome, the official position is in the body, and there is a lot of gold and silver, whether it is Chunling or the young Yindie, they all secretly have hope, but they only see the palm-sized sky on the head of the Lin Mansion, and leave the words 'impermanence of the world' behind." As he thought about it, he went to the cage to pick up his clothes.
Lin Jinlou left a crab shell green bucket pattern in the east chamber last time, Xianglan took it out, took a bottle of soju and sprayed it, and scalded it with an iron, at this time Chunling came in with a curtain, and saw that Xianglan was busy, so he said: "What do you do with such a job?" Let those two little girls do it. β
Xianglan smiled: "Little work, don't get in the way." β
Chunling pursed her lips and said: "You are too good, you are second-class, you have to stand up when you should put up the shelf, and now the little hooves of the silver butterfly dare to climb on your head to show you your face." β
Xianglan pursed her lips and smiled. In fact, Yindie is still enthusiastic and courteous to her on weekdays, but when she saw Lin Jinlou today, she lost her temper.
Chunling said a few words, and when she saw that Xianglan didn't answer, she was slightly disappointed. Xianglan is easy-going and generous, and she is willing to share food with everyone, and the little girls love to be close to her. Chunling likes to take everything big, and she also likes to reprimand and discipline the little girl, which is understandable, but it is inferior to Xianglan. I wanted to say a few more words, but I heard Wu's mother calling her in the courtyard, so she threw off her hand and left.
Xianglan ironed her clothes and folded them neatly and held them into the house. I saw that the kang table was set up on the bed, the fruit cakes were re-arranged, and Qinglan was waiting for Lin Jinlou to take off his official uniform.
Xianglan put down her clothes and was about to leave, when Lin Jinlou shouted: "Wait." He wanted Xianglan to wait for him to change his clothes, but after looking at Qinglan, he felt that it was not suitable.
Qinglan is not a shrewd person, but looking at Lin Jinlou staring at a little girl desperately, there is also a bit of displeasure on her face. Pandan lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes.
Lin Jinlou hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be casual and said to Qinglan: "This girl is good, she was originally serving in Cao Lihuan's house, and the surname Cao was black-hearted, and she put peach juice in the second sister's food, fortunately, this girl was clever and told Mrs. SΓΉ, otherwise it would be troublesome to start the symptoms." Now that she is in your house to serve, I am relieved. β
Qinglan smiled just now, secretly felt that she was too careful, and said: "I know, this girl is a kind person, she has done a lot of work openly and secretly, but she never shows her merits. β
Lin Jinlou bowed his head, looked down and saw a pony pendant with a red gold topaz hanging on his waist, so he casually took it off and handed it to Xianglan and said, "Reward you, take it, serve your aunt and grandmother well, and there will be a reward in the future." β
Xianglan lowered her head and said, "This is all what slaves and maids should do, and I don't dare to ask for the uncle's reward." β
Lin Jinlou frowned slightly: "You will take it if you are rewarded, and you will dare to ask for it." β
This little golden horse pendant is really valuable, Xianglan hesitated and didn't dare to take it, and looked at Qinglan with her eyes. Qinglan saw that Lin Jinlou casually rewarded such a valuable thing to a girl, she couldn't help but blush, she wanted to persuade a few words but didn't dare, and when she heard that she said, "Serve your aunt and grandmother well, and there will be rewards in the future", she felt that Lin Jinlou rewarded the maid for such a good thing for her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to Xianglan: "Since it is for you, you can take it." β
Xianglan dared to take it, and she was about to kowtow busily, Lin Jinlou waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, no need." β
Xianglan then withdrew, and when she looked at no one, she saw that although the golden horse was the size of a thumb, it was extremely delicate, inlaid on the vein, and there were five-colored palace spikes hanging down from the head. Xianglan pinched the horse and felt that her hands were hot, and she remembered the description when Lin Jinlou asked her to serve the fan, and her heart rose again, and she said in her heart: "Could it be that Lin Jinlou has taken a fancy to me?" He comforted himself that Lin Jinlou was a romantic person, and he would laugh a few words with any maid, so he didn't have to take it to heart, and he would serve him less in the future. But look at the little golden horse in his hand, he can't be at ease in the end.
Lin Jinlou had lunch in the East Chamber, and he was about to leave the house in the afternoon, and Qinglan personally sent it out. Yingshuang stood at the door of the main room and watched for a while, then turned back and brought Zhao Yuechan a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge.
Zhao Yuechan was lying on the beauty couch under the window, her eyes were slightly closed, her sideburns were a little loose, and a few strands of green silk were scattered on the autumn-scented pillow, lining her face more and more gorgeous.
Yingshuang carefully put the bowl on the sandalwood begonia, Zhao Yuechan suddenly closed her eyes and asked, "The person has already left from the east chamber?" β
Yingshuang looked at Zhao Yuechan's face and replied in a low voice: "Yes." β
"He's clutching the piece of meat in that little slut's belly."
Yingshuang didn't dare to speak, so she only picked up the bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge, stirred it with a spoon, and said, "Grandma, bird's nest porridge should be eaten while it is hot......
"If that little bitch gives birth to a son, shouldn't he climb on top of me?" Zhao Yuechan opened her eyes and looked at Yingshuang.
Yingshuang Qiang smiled: "Grandma, don't think so much, it's important to take care of your body, even if that little slut has a son, she will never be able to surpass grandma." The Lin family is a long-standing family, and there will never be a matter of spoiling a concubine and killing his wife......" The more he talked, the quieter his voice became, and finally he shut up.
Zhao Yuechan stared at the pot of orchids on the windowsill for a long time.
Yingshuang licked her dry lips and said cautiously, "What Mrs. Uncle said last time also made sense...... Uncle and grandma tied a knot, these years have not changed their mind, grandma in the girl, the uncle can't look down, it is better for grandma to give the uncle's wife's sister Xia to the uncle, first, the uncle's wife and the family are easy to handle, and secondly, Sister Xia is cowardly and stupid. She has a good color, and the uncle can also look at it, except for grandma, I haven't seen Sister Bixia have a good look, and when she has a son, grandma can bring it to raise her own ......"
Before she could say a word, she saw that Zhao Yuechan's eyes were like frost, and when she looked at her, Yingshuang shrank her neck and closed her mouth.
After a while, Zhao Yuechan said slowly: "How can the children born by others be compared to the flesh and blood raised by their own parents...... Sister Xia's matter is not allowed to be mentioned again, I have my own ideas. β
The two were silent.
Zhao Yuechan took the bird's nest porridge, ate two bites, and asked, "Where did Cao Lihuan stop?" β
At the mention of this, Yingshuang came to his senses, straightened his waist and said, "It's stopped, I haven't sent anyone to find grandma in the past few days...... I heard from several mothers in Ermen that she refused to leave at the beginning, crying and grabbing the ground. I thought she had to go out and make some trouble, just her shabby house, she usually can't make the people around her feel better, and now she has swept the floor out, and she doesn't get up to make a fuss? Who would have thought that it would end silently. β
Zhao Yuechan swallowed a mouthful of porridge, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and sneered: "Make a fuss? She is a smart person, I heard that when the old lady sent her away, she said that maybe when she got married, the old lady could still add some dowry, just for the old lady's dowry money, she couldn't just tear her face and make a fuss outside. Besides, it was the uncle who personally sent people out, and his methods could still make Cao Lihuan lose face? It's best if she doesn't come to the door, and in the future, she told a few mothers in Ermen that she would send someone again, and she would call back. β
Yingshuang nodded again and again, and sighed again: "It's just that after this incident, there were some rumors of wind and shadows, saying that Sister Huan'er and the little maid around her were not clean, and the little maid sneaked to the door and teased the maid by mistake after eating wine." It is estimated that this rumor has spread to the Ren family, and it is uncertain whether Sister Huan'er's family affair can be successful. β
Zhao Yuechan sneered and put the porridge bowl on the small table: "Doesn't she look down on the Ren family?" Now she has no way to get married...... But this matter is not certain, Cao Lihuan still has a few ladders, and the Ren family kid is not a tough person, and it is unknown if he will marry him with his eyes closed for a few dollars. β
Yingshuang nodded, and said with some concern: "If Cao Lihuan chews bad things about grandma outside, saying that we received a box of hairpins from her, but she doesn't help with things......
Zhao Yuechan cocked her fingers, put the porridge into her mouth one by one, and said nonchalantly: "No matter what she says, is it difficult to spit out what she eats in her mouth?" Do you think she can say good things about me without this hairpin? Bah! I'm really not afraid of her! β
Yingshuang brought a cup of hot tea, Zhao Yuechan rinsed her mouth, spit in the spittoon, wiped her hands with a small hand towel, thought about it carefully, and felt that the box of hairpins was a little hot in her own hands, so it was better to sell it quietly, and it was serious to get the silver, so she said: "Hurry up Ming'er to give the box of hairpins to my cousin, let him find a proper next house to sell, the minimum is three hundred and fifty taels of silver, and the silver higher than three hundred and fifty taels will be obtained by himself." Don't look at the small hairpin, all of them are delicate and chic, not to mention the ruby on the top, fiery red, if it weren't for the hot hand of this thing left around, I wouldn't want to sell it. It's a pity that Cao Lihuan said that there was a pair of ruby earrings with this hairpin, but I couldn't get it in the end. β
Yingshuang said with a smile: "It's better for grandma to introduce her to a family, her current situation, not to mention a pair of ruby hairpins, is to be accompanied by half a box of her mother, it is estimated that it can be sent to grandma." β
Zhao Yuechan snorted and sneered: "She is a street rat now, she can't hide yet, so can she still stick it?" Besides, how can the tigress's things be touched casually, and this hairpin doesn't know how she hurts. I'm putting my words here, and now she's honestly stopped, and I'll have to find her in a short time! As he spoke, he pulled his sideburns and smiled: "It's just that she will come to the door again, but she will not be the original Miss Lin Jiabiao, I'm afraid that the door can show her face, and it won't be too late for us to move her when the time comes......"
Yingshuang responded with a smile, turned around and took the key to open the cabinet, took out a sandalwood box, opened it and glanced at it, only to see that there were jewels inside, and there were eight delicate and exquisite eight-treasure red gold ruby hairpins, so he closed the lid and prepared to take it out of the house tomorrow and sell it at a high price, not to mention it for the time being.
