116 Spring Exploration Plan
paid for it himself, bothered to manage it himself, and finally let Mrs. Wang get a good word, and she couldn't get a good word.
Of course, Xue Baochai would not be such a day worker. He spent the night under the lamp, took a pen and wrote down the main points, and the next day he asked the people on the counter to help him buy all kinds of ingredients. Because he was too busy, Xue Baochai didn't have time to pay attention to Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun's move.
Jia Baoyu still couldn't change Jia's mother's mind, Jia's mother would rather help him make up for the girls around him, rather than continue to keep him in his yard, plus Mrs. Wang's relationship, in the end, Jia Baoyu had to take the girls he was used to to go to the courtyard that was also named "Qianyunxuan". Jia Baoyu is also interesting, but after two days of worrying, he became happy again, not only wrote a plaque for his yard, but also called himself the master of the Qianyun Cave, so that the girls below snickered behind their backs. Within two days, that courtyard was called the Qianyun Cave below, which happened to be a pair with Jia Baoyu's nickname of the Demon King of the Mixed World.
On the contrary, Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun lived together in the brocade building and ten zhang soft red in Bailuzhou, speaking of the brocade building, it is necessary to say that after more than 50 years, the wisteria that climbed the entire horse-head wall, living here in the summer, is naturally refreshing, close to the water, and has a wide line of sight.
As for the ten zhang soft red, in fact, there are 100 begonias planted around an independent two-entry yard, and the begonias are gorgeous, so they got this name.
As soon as Shi Xiangyun saw this courtyard, he smiled: "Why is the second sister always so caring, you know that I like begonias?" ”
Xiao Hong, who was in charge of assisting Shi Xiangyun to move, smiled: "In the early years. Our girl said that the girls in the family are counted as the girls of the relatives' families. Miss Bao is the most suitable for peonies, but Miss Shi is the most lined with begonias, and said that this yard is also called by Miss Shi. We all said that Miss Shi lived in the old lady's yard, where would she come to this back garden? It was our girl who had the foresight to anticipate it early. ”
Shi Xiangyun heard Xiaohong mention Xue Baochai, and his heart moved. said: "I didn't expect the second sister to have such a high evaluation of Sister Bao. ”
Shi Xiangyun knows very well that he wants to become Bao Er's grandmother, and his biggest competitor is not someone else. It was Xue Baochai. Since Xue Baochai is his only rival in love at the moment, Shi Xiangyun is of course very concerned about him.
Shi Xiangyun is very aware of Jia Jiu's influence in this mansion.
A little girl on the side immediately accosted: "Miss Shi, have you forgotten jì?" The first to say that Miss Bao is like a peony. It's not our girl. It's the second master of Bao. ”
Shi Xiangyun's heart moved, thought about it, but laughed again: "Why did I forget it, Brother Ai not only compared Sister Bao to a peony, but also compared Sister Bao to Yang Guifei." ”
Yang Guifei is the favorite concubine of Emperor Tang Ming, although she does not have the name of the queen, but she has the reality of the queen, but his reputation is not good. He turned out to be Princess Shou, but he had a head and tail with his father-in-law, Emperor Tang Ming. And then do the concubine. He kept asking for officials for his brothers, but few of his brothers could do things, and they were good at making money. Emperor Tang Ming is indeed stupid, but the rebellion of Anshi in the Tang Dynasty does have the shadow of Yang Guifei.
Who made An Lushan the righteous son of Yang Guifei?
This crime, it's not Yang Guifei who will carry it, who else will carry it?
In this era, comparing a woman to Yang Guifei is the same as directly scolding the other party for not abiding by women's morals and picking up ashes with her father-in-law.
Thinking like this, Shi Xiangyun was no longer angry. He turned his head to Xiaohong and said, "Second sister treats me so well, but I don't know how to thank second sister." Xiaohong, you are the person who needs to be used by the second sister's side, what do you say the second sister likes? ”
Xiaohong smiled: "Miss Shi is polite. Since the girl has a heart, as long as the heart is there, it will be done. No matter what the girl says, we girls will remember it. ”
Shi Xiangyun immediately smiled: "It is said that Qingwen is a sharp-toothed person, I don't think you are bad, and when you speak, you don't show a drop of water." What do you mean, no matter how I express it, the second sister will feel it. Could it be that I really sent something wrong, and the second sister will still care about me? It's also a shame that you're the second sister's girl, and if someone changes, I'll be annoyed. That's it, I'll go to Xie Second Sister in person, Second Sister is free at this time? ”
Xiaohong said: "Miss Shi is polite. It's time for our girl to copy books, and if the girl goes to our girl's place now, I'm afraid she will run into us copying books. ”
Shi Xiangyun smiled: "The second sister is really true. Will he still be short of the money to buy the book? He even copied it himself. ”
Shi Xiangyun is good friends with Jia Baoyu, and he has stayed by Jia's mother's side for many years, so he naturally knows that with a family like the Jia family, he can completely open the engraving outside and print a newly made hardcover book. In Shi Xiangyun's view, copying books is something that only poor families with no money can do. Shi Xiangyun couldn't figure it out, Jia Jiu could even copy books.
In his opinion, Jia Jiu's identity is much more expensive than Jia Baoyujin, and he also has money, a lot of money, and there are thousands of taels of silver money in and out of his hand every year, and he takes out some to print books, which is no problem at all for this first-class county monarch.
Xiaohong said: "Miss Shi, our girl once said that in ancient times, there was a person who was born with a bad memory, so he memorized all while copying books, and even an article, he had to read it seven times, sing seven times, copy it seven times, and silence seven times before he could write it down." If he changed to someone else, I was afraid that he would have given up a long time ago, but he persevered and finally became a university scholar. His study is Qilu Zhai. Our girl said that although my daughter's family does not need to rush to take the examination and do not need to be an official in the imperial examination, this attitude of governing education is worth advocating. We girls also like to copy books, and it is one thing to be able to learn knowledge, and it is a very decent thing to copy a good book, whether it is for your own private house or as a gift. ”
When Shi Xiangyun heard this, his heart moved.
This sentence went to his heart.
Shi Xiangyun is a girl of the Shi family, and the monthly money is small, even if she was picked up by Jia's mother in the past two years, raised by Jia's mother's side, and followed the girl of the Jia family to receive the same monthly money. But it is only an example of following Tanchun, not following Jia Jiu's example. In other words, Shi Xiangyun received two taels of silver from Jia's mother's account every month. plus two taels of silver fat powder money, compared to Jia Jiu's ten taels of silver monthly money and ten taels of silver fat powder money, Shi Xiangyun can get only a quarter of Jia Jiu's every month. Even during the Chinese New Year, Shi Xiangyun could only get some live creatures such as rabbits, deer, and pheasants as pets, and Jia Jiu still had an annual example to take. I don't know how much money there is in it.
A person who is so shrewd in Tanchun will have to save a few months if he wants to save two dollars. Not to mention that he Shi Xiangyun is used to being rough. Just like before, Jia Jiu can casually take out fifty taels of silver and let them form a poetry club. coaxed a few of them to be happy, but Shi Xiangyun may not even be able to afford the money that is evenly distributed to him.
What's more, his Shi Xiangyun's rival, Xue Baochai is a businesswoman. There is money in the family. Xue Baochai was originally Mrs. Wang's niece and daughter. And there were some silver coins up and down. If he Shi Xiangyun can't excel in this, I'm afraid that he will be pushed to the side by this merchant girl more and more.
Although Shi Xiangyun is very arrogant, he is a girl after all, and he is much more sensitive than others in this kind of thing. Xue Baochai's attitude changed, others didn't notice it, but he had this premonition early on.
Seeing that her girl was obviously moved, Cui Wei hurriedly said, "Xiaohong." Here you go again. He said to Shi Xiangyun again: "Girl, this copy book or something." If it is copied, give it to the junior, for example, Brother Lan, or Huan'er, Brother Lan is a junior, Brother Huan'er is a concubine, these two, the girl should send the book. Because the girl is an elder and an older sister, but if it is an old lady, it is not appropriate for the girl to send this. ”
Books are great gifts, but not everyone can give them as gifts. Like Jia Jiu, he sent books to Jia Lan, that was because Jia Jiu and Li Kun were of the same generation, and Jia Lan was a junior; He sent Jia Huan books, that was because Jia Huan was the son of a servant, and Jia Jiu, as a cousin, was also a county monarch canonized by the imperial court, and it was also a courtesy to take care of his uncle's cousin. If Lin Daiyu is replaced, the Lin family's collection of books is unknown, and many of them are still unique. At this time, to say a word, it is a copy of the book in his own collection, and such words are spread, which not only shows the family history of the Lin family, but also the person who receives the gift is decent.
But Shi Xiangyun's seniority is not high, except for Xichun and Jia Huan Jia Lan, the rest of the Jia family, even if they are equals, will not be Shi Xiangyun's turn to be her sister. Moreover, the Shi family, like the Jia family, is a nouveau riche family, and Shi Xiangyun does not have Lin Daiyu's collection of books at hand, so naturally he can't give books away.
What Cui Wei can imagine, Shi Xiangyun can certainly imagine.
He thought even more than Emerald Wisp. Jia Baoyu is a person who doesn't like to read, he doesn't like those subsets of scriptures and histories, but he likes to read those barnyard anecdotes, and that kind of books are often not serious books. Jia Baoyu won't like to send the serious book, and he will send the barnyard history, but he is afraid that his reputation will be the first to be damaged, and let the elders know that he will not be able to get it well.
In other words, if you give someone someone a book, you can still get a good child, but if you give Jia Baoyu, you are likely to lose face. Even if the elders, such as Mrs. Wang, are satisfied, it may make Jia Baoyu dissatisfied, or even make Jia Baoyu unhappy.
Shi Xiangyun wouldn't do such a thing.
Shi Xiangyun said: "What Cui Wei said also has some truth. I am a younger sister, and I am also young, so I have naturally read fewer books than my second sister. If I give books to my second sister, I'm afraid I'll make a joke. I should have asked my second sister to borrow books and copy them. ”
Thinking like this, Shi Xiangyun also came to his senses: "That's it, it's useless to talk so much." It's better to find the second sister directly and ask the second sister what kind of thank you gift she wants. ”
As he spoke, he asked the little girl to inform her first, and she also tidied up her clothes a little and walked out of the door. When I got out of the courtyard, I saw Tanchun coming from the Jinlou, followed by Qingwen Servant.
Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but say, "Third sister, where are you going?" ”
Tanchun also saw Shi Xiangyun, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Sister Yun, I was planning to go to Second Sister Xie, Sister Yun is going to go together." ”
"Of course."
Shi Xiangyun waited for Tanchun for a while, and when Tanchun walked forward, the two of them walked forward together.
I only heard Tanchun say: "I thought that I would live in the old lady's yard until I grew up, and I never thought that I would live in this back garden one day." ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "Is it because of the division of the sect?" Seeing that Tanchun acquiesced, Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "You also have too much heart." The eldest lord in this mansion is not this kind of person. Maybe just at the beginning. The big man will be angry, and after a long time, the big man's anger will go down. The heart is also soft, and the old lady says it again, isn't it like a family again? ”
Tanchun shook his head and said, "The eldest master is indeed filial, as long as the old lady wants it, he has nothing to disobey." But that's about it. After all, the eldest lord is the marquis of the imperial court, and he also has his own temper. Not to mention. The second brother Lian is the eldest son of the eldest master, and he is also the serious master of this house. Now it's in the way of the old lady, in the way of the old man. Second Brother Lian didn't say anything, in the future, Second Brother Lian will become the lord of this mansion, where will he be able to accommodate our wife? ”
Because Mrs. Wang is her mother-in-law, she can only point to the end of the spring.
Shi Xiangyun also knew about the accident. Naturally, he also knows the three lives alluded to in the unfinished words of the spring. My heart is also moving.
There are those three lives, even if Jia Lian doesn't say anything now, in the future, Jia Lian will become a family, and he will definitely not have any contact with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's side, let alone take care of Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang's biological son.
It's much better that he doesn't block Mrs. Wang.
Since Shi Xiangyun likes Jia Baoyu, he naturally wants to plan for Jia Baoyu. was reminded by Tanchun like this, and naturally had a bad premonition in my heart.
Shi Xiangyun said: "That's true. It's a knot that can't be untied. ”
Jia Baoyu is the son of Jia Lian's enemy, and Jia Baoyu will be in trouble in the future. Jia Lian is already very good if he doesn't fall into the well, so how can he expect him to come to the rescue? Jia Cong is Jia Lian's younger brother. In the future, he will also rely on this brother to promote, and it is impossible to offend Jia Lian for Jia Baoyu. Thinking about it, there is only this second sister, he has a strong strength behind him, and he is destined to be a noble person in the future, even if he is not afraid of making enemies with his mother's brother. And he has always been soft-hearted, if he can get in touch with this second sister, then he will be able to borrow strength from himself and Jia Baoyu in the future.
I have to say that if you live in the same environment for a long time, people will influence each other. Shi Xiangyun actually thought of going together with Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai.
In their opinion, Jia Jiu is a powerful, capable, soft-hearted, and committed person. If you have a good relationship with Jia Jiu now, you will really have something to do in the future, with the current situation, as long as Jia Jiu nods, then their affairs will be half of it.
Tanchun didn't know that Shi Xiangyun still had this layer of calculations in it, but he also wanted to have a good relationship with Jia Jiu.
In Tanchun's view, the person who has an enmity with Jia Lian's family is Mrs. Wang, who has nothing to do with herself, she is just a little concubine, even if Jia Lian hates Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and his wife, and is angry with herself, look at this cousin's care of her brother Jia Huan, you know that as long as she pleases this cousin, this cousin doesn't mind helping herself in a place that others can't see.
Tanchun also thought carefully about the difference between himself and Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, don't talk about Jia Baoyu, that is Mrs. Wang's biological son, and a large part of Mrs. Wang's sins are for this son, or because of this son. Therefore, Tanchun is very sure that his hatred for Mrs. Wang will definitely make Jia Lian angry with Jia Baoyu, there is no doubt about it.
And Jia Huan, not to mention being a servant, was also ignored by Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, a half-grown child who couldn't even compare with the decent servants in the family. Tanchun also knew that if it weren't for Jia Jiu's help, he was afraid that Jia Huan wouldn't be able to study, so he could only be like a ghost every day, mixing around at home, learning the ways of those things that didn't make a device.
Tanchun pondered more than once, why did Jia Jiu help Jia Huan in secret, because Jia Huan was Jia Zheng's son? In this world, the maid is another form of slave, and he is not qualified to be on the book, because he Jia Tanchun is a girl and has the value of marriage, so he can call the slave and call the maid, and live the life of a young lady with fine clothes and food, like Jia Huan, he is a young master on the surface, but in fact, no one will treat him the same.
Even Tanchun thought about it several times in private. If he changes positions with this second sister, he may not necessarily help Jia Huan, because Jia Huan is destined not to go through the imperial examination, and in the future, he will just go out with some money and become a small landlord.
But to Tanchun's surprise, Jia Jiu really helped Jia Huan, not only secretly stuffing silver money to Jia Huan, but also teaching Jia Huan to read and write, and even lent books to Jia Huan to copy.
Tanchun felt that Jia Jiu was doing useless work.
Although he commented on Jia Jiu's help to Jia Huan in his heart, Tanchun still couldn't help but be grateful to Jia Jiu, after all, Jia Huan was Tanchun's younger brother. Even if Tanchun didn't think that Jia Huan would be able to give him anything in the future, he still admitted that Jia Huan's exit was also a fact that there was light on his face.
After this incident, Tanchun couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, that is, since Jia Jiu can help Jia Huan, then Jia Jiu should not be stingy to help him.
He doesn't want a lot, just take the dowry and marry out in a wedding dress.
He doesn't want to be like his eldest sister, what to enter the palace, what to be a lady and a nobleman, he just needs to marry the right young master and be a wife.
I have to say that this desire to explore spring is really a bit high. for he himself is a maidservant. Other people's families may accept concubines, but giving birth to a maid is two different things, not to mention that Mrs. Wang's reputation is not good. (To be continued......)
