"Really?"

Jia Jiu said: "The Feng Imperial Doctor said that girls from large families rarely use rouge gouache outside, because the chance of being manipulated is greater, not to mention that some people who buy it are often shoddy in order to keep more money. So although the wound on my face looks small, it would be troublesome if I used medicine. The wound is small, and we don't know what kind of rouge gouache is near the wound and what it is made of, so we can't prescribe the right medicine. You can only fight poison with poison, and when the remaining poison is forced out and the wound is healed, you can only cover the wound with pearl powder. The Imperial Doctor Feng said, it's also a shame that we have cacti at home, otherwise this residual poison wouldn't have been drained so quickly. ”

Shi Xiangyun nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Then is this method useful for Sister Bao?" ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't know how Sister Bao got hurt, and I don't know if Sister Bao can be ruthless in using a knife against herself. I took this ear digger and dug out the pus hidden in the flesh. Sister Bao is like that all over her body, and she doesn't know if she can use a knife in some places. It's about Sister Bao's future, and I don't want to talk nonsense. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Whatever." If my sister doesn't dislike it, then my sister will tell Sister Bao, and as for whether to do it or not, it's up to Sister Bao to decide. Speaking of which, second sister, your yard is so quiet. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Yes." Rongxi Hall has been cleaned up, and the day after tomorrow, my father and mother will move to Rongxi Hall, and these girls and mothers-in-law will also be reassigned. I'll let them go down and pack up. Sister Yun, you have to wait. I cleaned up my face before I talked to my sister. ”

Shi Xiangyun replied softly. He sat across from Jia Jiu. The eyes are good, too. He clearly saw that Jia Jiu carefully pressed the wound with an ear digger, and when he found a place, he dug down fiercely, and the pus immediately burst out with large drops of blood. Jia Jiu took a silk handkerchief to wipe away the blood on his face and kept squeezing the wound, allowing more blood to flow out, which made Shi Xiangyun feel uncomfortable.

Especially the blood-soaked veils, even if they were devoured by the fiery serpent. However, the bloodstains on the handkerchief were still shocking, which made Shi Xiangyun very uneasy.

After a long while, the wound on Jia Jiu's face finally stopped bleeding, and Jia Jiu slowly pasted a thick layer of mashed cactus meat, which made the girls take off their beibai sprinkled shawls and clean up the makeup mirror, and then rearranged the tea fruit on the kang table.

When he came in this time, Shi Xiangyun felt that Jia Jiu's expressions were not as good as before. He knew that it was wrong for him to lose his temper with Jia Jiu, and it was no wonder that these girls were indifferent to him, but Jia Jiu seemed to be the same as he was in the past. It made Shi Xiangyun feel that this second sister was really good-natured.

If Jia Baoyu is replaced, he will either sit on the side and sulk or apologize in a low voice. But it was also like this, Jia Jiu made Shi Xiangyun a little puzzled, and the other party's attitude towards him. Is it that the other party doesn't take himself seriously at all, so he doesn't care about his attitude, or is the other party really natural? So soft that anyone can handle it?

Just when he couldn't find a topic, he saw Jia Yu running over in a hurry, and Jia Jiu and Shi Xiangyun hurriedly greeted him. Jia Yu saw Shi Xiangyun here. He only coughed slightly and said a few kind words. Then he took out a palm-sized gold orchid silver box from his sleeve and said to his daughter: "Girl, this is your great-grandmother's beloved thing in her early years. A very delicate and very small crested hairpin. You are young now, and too complicated jewelry is not good-looking, but it is the best to wear it every day or to go out as a guest. I've already asked someone to take this hairpin and blow it up, and I've replaced the pearls that have lost their color on it. You put it on and let me see if it looks good. ”

Jia Jiu looked at the crested hairpin, it was really exquisite, the small hairpin was not as big as his palm, and what was even more amazing was that the tassel on the crested head was actually a one-color rice bead, which made the big red coral below more beautiful and moving.

Rice beads are scarce, and even fewer are of the finest rice beads that are almost identical in condition. And craftsmen who can process rice beads are becoming more and more rare. The level of craftsmanship of this small crested hairpin is not something that can be achieved by folk craftsmen, and the craftsmen who can achieve this point are basically good hands in the Royal Manufacturing Office.

Jia Jiu doesn't know the value of this small crested hairpin, Jia Yu won't tell his daughter how much money and favors he spent on this hairpin, but Shi Xiangyun is not a stupid person, or rather, he has been by Jia's mother all the year round, and compared the living standards of the two daughters of the Jia family and the Shi family, Shi Xiangyun knows the value of this hairpin better than Jia Jiu and Jia Jiu's girls.

This hairpin was supposed to be a tribute at the beginning, but after it was given to the old lady, it was passed on to Jia Yu, and now it is given to Jia Jiu.

What makes Shi Xiangyun's eyes hot is not the value of the hairpin itself, but the meaning behind it. This kind of hairpin is generally reserved for the eldest son-in-law and eldest grandson-in-law in the family, but it was left to Jia Jiu, but this favor and decency were not sought by Shi Xiangyun. Shi Xiangyun's parents died, and he spent a lot of time in the Jia family since he was a child, and he was not close to the two aunts. What he has is just a proper example of a girl from a historian. The problem is that the Shi family's family background is not as good as the Jia family, and the housekeeping methods of the two Mrs. Hou are completely different from the Jia family. In the Jia family, Jia's mother pays attention to pomp and circumstance, pays attention to enjoyment, and pays attention to the interest of life, and under the influence of Jia's mother, the Jia family has a lot of expenses in the inner house. As for the historians, the two Mrs. Hou pay more attention to their reputation, and they are relatively more diligent and thrifty. In addition, Shi Xiangyun is not close to them, so they naturally only have face left for Shi Xiangyun. Of course, Shi Xiangyun, the girl of the Shi family, has it.

Since Shi Xiangyun is known as the big girl Shi, it is naturally because he is the oldest girl in the Shi family. When the other children of the Shi family are very young, he can only compare with the girls of the Jia family. Tanchun is raised in front of Jia's mother, Jia's mother has always liked the shrewdness and cleverness of Tanchun, and the days of Tanchun are naturally not bad; After Jia Jiu returned to his father, Jia Yu was even more precious to this daughter, and when she went out to buy good things, she must get a copy for her daughter.

Just like today, in addition to this crested hairpin, Jia Yu also prepared an agate incense burner for Jia Jiu. In Jia Yu's words: "Since beating your aunt in charge, this family has not been as good as a year." Not to mention the gold and jade when my sister was at home, but when your cousin was at home, where was his fragrance short at home? It's also a shame that he still has the face to say that he is virtuous, diligent and thrifty? Toss less and have some that you don't have, and you sisters have all of them. My own daughter is distressed, this is what I bought in the glaze factory, although it is not an antique, but it is better in good materials, exquisite workmanship, you are a little doll just right. ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "Father, now my daughter's face is not good, I am afraid that I will be pounced by incense ashes, but I dare not use incense." ”

Jia Yu said: "Even if you don't use it now, you will use it in the future, even if it is placed in the house, it will look good." Now that you are about to start reading, the large pieces of furniture and calligraphy and paintings in the study are left for you, and even the books are all new books selected for your father. If you have a book you want, you have to copy it yourself. These bonsai flowers and birds in the yard are also given to you, so you won't move away. ”

Jia Jiu leaned on his father and said, "Father, don't you want it anymore?" Don't want the parrot under the porch? ”

Jia Yu said: "Of course, the favorite one is taken away by my father, and the rest is for you." In the future, your father will live in the main house of Rongxi Hall, and your mother will live in the courtyard in the northeast corner of Rongxi Hall if she is not in good health. There are people coming and going in Rongxi Hall, which is inconvenient for your mother to recuperate. The back door of the compound is facing the front entrance, and it is convenient for you to take care of your mother. ”

"Yes, father." Jia Jiu responded, remembered something again, and said, "Father, are the mothers and fathers in the back kitchen going to take them away?" The father is used to eating the dishes they make, and if he leaves them, the daughter is afraid that the father will not eat well. ”

Jia Yu said: "What about you? ”

Jia Jiu said: "My daughter might as well be here." It's just that the dishes made by the new mother-in-law are not authentic enough, and it's just that it's slowly adjusted. ”

Jia Yu nodded and said, "It's okay, I remember that there are three mothers-in-law in this kitchen, each with their own unique skills." I'll only take these three people away, and I'll take half of the rest with me, and I'll leave the rest to you, so it's better to let the old people bring the new ones than all the new ones. ”

Jia Jiu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Father, is the old lady's meal still cooked in the big kitchen now?" Why did my daughter hear that the old lady's share was also short? If it's really short, it's not my daughter's. ”

Jia Yu shook his head and said, "No matter how difficult it is at home, it will not shorten the old lady's share." It's just that after the division of the sect, the old lady said that his household registration is still in Dongfu, but our family has already been separated. Therefore, the tea room in the old lady's yard is still preserved, and another yard is set up for the old lady to make a kitchen. The old lady's daily food silver was twenty taels, which was no longer counted among the thirty thousand taels, and it was also given annually. As for how the old lady used the seven thousand two hundred taels of silver, it would be none of our business. By the way, after the father moved away, your share here is still the same as before. ”

"Huh? But isn't that too ......?"

Jia Yu said: "If you want it, you have to take care of your younger brother, and you have to take care of the things in the back garden. You are a little looser in your hands, and it is convenient to take care of your brother and your nieces and daughters, even if you occasionally honor the old lady, you don't have to squeeze your own share. You know, you little old kids, you can't go hungry. (To be continued......)
