19 Piercing the heart

At the underwater viewing platform, led by Jia Jiu, Wang Ziteng and the two marquis of the Shi family, the four major families of Jia Shi Wang Xue Jinling have reached an alliance again, and this time, they will work hard for the survival of their respective families. In the small courtyard of the Xue family, Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun did not get along well, even Tanchun also had a faint opinion on Xue Baochai.

Also, whoever is changed, will be unhappy if he is slapped in the face so badly in public, not to mention that Xue Baochai is also a proud person.

is unwilling to admit it in his heart, Xue Baochai also knows that he is not qualified to play temper in front of Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, but it does not mean that he has no reaction at all after being slapped in the face by Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu. Xue Baochai knew very well that Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were used to playing, and when they were together, they didn't need him to do much at all, he just needed to take care of Tanchun. In this way, Shi Xiangyun will not be too disgusted with him, nor will he snub Tanchun.

This is also where he is a little older and better than Lin Daiyu in terms of human sophistication.

replaced Lin Daiyu, whether it was the first time he entered Jia's house after Jia Min's death or the second time he entered Jia's house after Lin Ruhai's death, Jia's family did not let him keep filial piety. In a society where filial piety comes first, this practice undoubtedly does not treat Lin Daiyu as a person, and it also puts Lin Daiyu under huge psychological pressure. At this time, it would be strange if Lin Daiyu didn't tightly grasp Jia Baoyu, a playmate who would always take care of his affection and understand his little temperament and temper.

As for Tanchun, his anger that was used by Jia Yuanchun and Xue Baochai has not subsided. As the youngest sister of the concubine, Tanchun is naturally not easy to find trouble with the sister-in-law. But this did not prevent him from looking at Xue Baochai unpleasantly. So the Xue family's things were delivered, and he ate them, and Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai asked. His answer, however, was as streamlined as possible.

Aunt Xue also knew about her daughter, just now Xue Baochai was ridiculed in front of Jia's mother and the Shi family's Wang family, Aunt Xue thought that her daughter would lose her temper, but she didn't expect her daughter to endure it, which made Aunt Xue very satisfied. Now that Jia's mother and the Shi family's Wang family can't offend are gone, of course he doesn't want his daughter to continue to be embarrassed.

Aunt Xue asked people to fetch her bad goose paw duck letter, and specially asked Tanchun: "Three girls." I heard that you like the duck wings and duck tongue in the Huansha Restaurant, and you can also try my bad place to your taste. ”

Shi Xiangyunqi said: "Hey, why does the third sister often go to the Huansha Pavilion?" ”

Tanchun said: "What's so strange about this? That's how big it is. The second sister also has a lot of things, but Sister Bao is not very convenient here, so I naturally ran to the Huansha Pavilion. The scenery there is good, and Qian'er and Qing'er are also good at feeding. I ate and played there. There are people to talk to me again, and naturally it is not bad. ”

The word "but" in Tanchun is used extremely interestingly.

Xue Baochai's heart was slightly empty. Before, he and Jia Yuanchun regarded the young Tanchun as a pawn, and they thought that Tanchun would not care or notice his small movements when he was young, but he didn't expect that the other party was clear, but he didn't dare to make trouble because of his identity.

Jia Baoyu said: "I remember when they first came to our house, they were thin and small, yellow and black, but in a blink of an eye, they became beautiful and shiny......

Shi Xiangyun hammered Jia Baoyu hard. Said: "Just your mouth! The two of them turned out to be excellent, but you are here to choreograph them! ”

Shi Xiangyun may have many shortcomings. But he has an obvious characteristic, which is with a chivalrous spirit. It's just that Shi Xiangyun doesn't have enough experience, he uses his chivalrous spirit in the right place every time, just like between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in the original book, he can't see that the Jia family has swallowed the Lin family's property, and he can't see the future where Lin Daiyu can only be sick and die if he doesn't marry Jia Baoyu, he only knows that Xue Baochai's difficulty, Xue Baochai's embarrassment, and Xue Baochai's tolerance, so he helped Xue Baochai but stepped on Lin Daiyu desperately. But I don't know that the biggest difference between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai is that if Lin Daiyu doesn't marry Jia Baoyu, the people of the Jia family will definitely let Lin Daiyu die in order to cover up their sins, and Xue Baochai just doesn't marry Jia Baoyu, he can also choose to marry someone else, it's just that the Jia family is not as rich as it seems, but there is no worry about his life.

Just like now, Shi Xiangyun didn't know that the two sisters Jia Qian and Jia Qing had already benefited, and when they were little country girls who couldn't even compare to Tanchun, they immediately came out to hug the grievances. Of course, this is also because he is sure that Jia Baoyu will not be angry with him for this, and he will even have a better impression of him because of this.

It can almost be said that Shi Xiangyun, who grew up next to Jia's mother, may not meet everyone's standards in some things, but in Jia Baoyu's body, he has never made a mistake in judgment.

It's the same this time. Jia Baoyu really didn't get angry, but just confessed vigorously: "Good sister, don't be angry, it's my fault, it's me who doesn't pay attention to what I say, don't be like me." ”

Shi Xiangyun snorted and said, "Besides, fortunately, there are only a few of us here today, otherwise, it is not good for the two of them to turn their faces with you, and the second sister will definitely be angry." The second sister can protect them! As soon as he said that, he picked up the sherbet in his hand and took a big bite, as soon as the sweet and sour taste was inhaled, Shi Xiangyun noticed that something was wrong, and opened his mouth and said, "Sister Bao, are you disgusting us?" I actually used this to deal with it. ”

Sherbet is a very cheap wine, mostly made from various fruits, except for wine, most of them can't afford to sell at a price, so only people with a low status and a little money in their pockets will take him to feast guests, and people with a little money will use rice wine such as Huadiao again, like the people of the Jia family and the Xue family are always prepared with Huiquan, where will this sherbet be put on the table! Xue Baochai took this sherbet to entertain them, and Shi Xiangyun would of course be angry.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "When our family was in the south, we didn't pay so much attention to it, and when we came to Beijing, I learned that many families hate girls who are drunk and full of alcohol, so they specially prepared sherbet." I heard that the wine made by the second sister, in addition to worshipping ancestors and human relations, she also eats sherbet. ”

Shi Xiangyun snorted and said, "Sister Bao." You listen to the second sister. Is it sherbet there for the second sister? He eats wine, not cheap. ”

Xue Baochai sighed and said, "Yes." Now the wine made by the second sister can't be bought outside. It tastes good. It's not as astringent as Western wine, if it weren't for the fact that Western wine crossed the sea, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as popular as the second sister's wine. Although the prices of the two are high, they are almost the same. ”

Shi Xiangyun has no interest in money or anything. He is not old enough to value money, so naturally it doesn't matter.

But when Tanchun heard this, he took it to heart and said, "I also know a little bit about this." I remember that the second sister made an agreement with the outside. He said that if he had extra wine, he would give a few handkerchiefs to try. As a result, I don't know why, some of them were intercepted. The second sister also wrote a letter to apologize to others. It's also a shame that people know that it's not easy for the second sister, otherwise, I'm afraid that it will be a feud again. ”

Xue Baochai was a little unsure of what Tanchun meant.

What price does Jia Jiu's wine sell outside? Xue Baochai was clear. He also knew that Jia Yuanchun was doing something about this, but he just pretended not to know. For Jia Yuanchun, those people are all connections on Jia Jiu's side, not his connections or the connections of the second room. Jia Yuanchun still wished that Jia Jiu had broken off relations with these people, so he naturally didn't be soft at all. Xue Baochai also knew about this, but Jia Yuanchun was standing behind Jia Mu, and even Jia Jiu avoided it, let alone him?

It's just that today it was broken by Tanchun. Xue Baochai couldn't say that he didn't know about it. After all, Jia Yuanchun used Tanchun as a gunman but used him as a military advisor, especially the wine that Jia Yuanchun intercepted. They were all handed over to Xue Baochai and asked the Xue family to help exchange them for silver money. Even if Xue Baochai secretly returned the things to Jia Jiu afterwards, it can't be said that there is no such thing, and even he can't let others know that he has something to do with these things, even if he pays a lot of money for it. Especially now that Jia Yuanchun is about to enter the palace, leaking the news is undoubtedly offending Jia Yuanchun and making trouble for himself.

Shi Xiangyun was taken aback and said, "Third sister, when did this happen?" How could this happen? ”

Tanchun said: "When else can it be, it is naturally a few days ago." It's easy to make such a thing happen after only two days of cleaning the house, and I don't know who is behind it. ”

For the fact that he was used as a gun and almost offended Jia Jiu and offended the entire big house, Tanchun was very annoyed in his heart. It was just before, but now his sister-in-law has been grounded, and the old lady has also thrown away her hand, he doesn't have trouble with Xue Baochai to have a ghost.

Xue Baochai immediately understood the meaning of Tanchun. He smiled and said: "I followed my eldest sister to learn housekeeping that day, and I vaguely heard some of them, and I thought that someone had nothing to do." I'm an outsider after all, and some things are definitely not as careful as the third sister knows. I don't know what the second sister did in the end, if she really offends someone, it won't be good. It would be nice if there was something I could help with. We don't have anything else in our house, but there are still some groceries in the north and south. It's not as sincere as the second sister's hand-brewing, but she can find one or two rare objects to resist the past. ”

As soon as I was an outsider, I pushed my responsibility cleanly, and then said that my family had a lot of money, and it was not rare to have these silver coins, and made a gesture to put forward a hypothesis that if Jia Jiu needed silver and property, he could speak directly. Just a few words, Xue Baochai picked himself out, making Tanchun's eyes widen.

It's not that Sister Bao can't hurt people, it's just that many times he is unwilling and doesn't have the qualifications. Being kind to others and making money with kindness is the sentence he has heard the most since he was a child, and his identity does not allow him to put up a shelf in the Jia family.

Xue Baochai's words, both Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun believed it, I believe that it won't be long before those girls and daughters-in-law of the Jia family will choose to believe Xue Baochai after hearing this rumor, as for what will happen to the Spring Festival, Xue Baochai can't take care of it.

Tanchun snorted, picked up a duck letter and put it in his mouth, bit the tip of his tongue and chewed it, and said, "I still like the bad duck letter in the Huansha Pavilion, my aunt is too sweet here." ”

Shi Xiangyun snorted and said, "In that case, you go to the Huansha Pavilion to eat." ”

Tanchun said: "This is what I want to say, whether it is the second sister or the Huansha Pavilion, there are a number of these things." I've heard that every time a copy arrives. The two nieces and nephews will only leave one or two live chickens and ducks, and the others will be slaughtered and pickled on the same day. When you want to eat, you pick it out and eat it. This is not only the case in the Huansha Pavilion, but also in the second sister. It is said that the second sister has to use the whole chicken and duck in addition to the ancestors. Most of the rest are also handled in this way, saying that he can't eat so much at one time, and he has to lose most of the whole chicken when he cooks it at a time, so it is better to be thrifty like this. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "If the old lady heard this, she would definitely say, why is a family like us like this?" Maybe I'll sigh a few times, saying that the family has actually reached the point where I can make hats with my head on my head. ”

Xue Baochai actually wanted to say, you are not the Jia family, where did you come from to say this. But her face still had to make a teachable appearance, but Aunt Xue said with emotion when she heard it: "Although people like us are not as calculating as people from small families, but as elders. Who doesn't hold their own girl in the palm of their hand, but requires their daughter-in-law to be diligent and thrifty, and break a copper plate in half? Therefore, it is always comfortable to be a girl, and to be a daughter-in-law for others. That's how hard it is. Some people also heard that the children in that family are pampered and can't endure hardship, and there are many who don't want it. Now our family no longer needs to rely on our daughter to be rich and rich, I hope to kiss and kiss, so that our Baochai does not have to work so hard. ”

Shi Xiangyun didn't seem to understand, but Tanchun did. He thought that Aunt Xue was deliberately sarcastic, and he was angry in his heart, and immediately said, "Huh? But didn't you say before that Sister Bao was going to enter the palace to choose a talented person? Look at me, I'm confused, the first person in the palace must be in good health. If it is a hidden disease, there are many who don't want it. The hot poison brought by Sister Bishengbao's womb has to eat cold incense pills. This alone does not qualify. Sister Bao, am I right? Besides, the palace is strictly forbidden, and Sister Bao is selected, and this cold incense pill can't be brought in. It's brought in, and if someone finds out, I'm afraid that a large number of people will lose their heads! Sister Bao, am I right? ”

When Shi Xiangyun heard that he was kissing and kissing, he felt uncomfortable. In his heart, Jia Baoyu belonged to him, and now a Xue Baochai came coldly, and he actually started Jia Baoyu's idea, but Shi Xiangyun didn't follow it.

Shi Xiangyun knows very well that whether it is Xue Baochai or the Xue family, they are only related to Jia Zheng's side, and Jia Yu's side is at most just a face-saving relationship, that is, they want to kiss and kiss, and Xue Baochai only has Jia Baoyu to choose from, because the others are either with Jia Lian and not dumping him at all, or with Jia Huan and Jia Cong at such a young age, it is impossible to get together at all. So seeing Tanchun sweeping Xue Baochai's face, Shi Xiangyun was very happy.

After following Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun also gave Xue Baochai a blow: "The third sister didn't say that I forgot about it." Sister Bao, if you want me to say, Sister Bao should also ask the master of Xinglin to take a good look at herself and take care of her body seriously. But no one likes that the bride is a sick and sick person. ”

What's even more ruthless is Jia Baoyu, he actually said: "It turns out that Sister Bao has a hidden disease? It's pathetic. ”

Xue Baochai wanted to yell: "You just have a hidden disease." But he still has to say to himself that he is not angry, and he has to smile with Jia Baoyu and others.

At this time, someone at the door smiled and said: "It is said that Bao Er Ye is the most attentive to girls, why do you forget that Miss Bao is also a girl?" What do you say about having a hidden disease, there is no such thing at all. ”

Xue Baochai was worried that no one would help him speak, but when he heard it, he quickly raised his head, but saw that it was Xiaohong, the big girl next to Jia Jiu.

Jia Baoyuqi said: "Isn't this Sister Xiaohong next to the second sister?" Why is this here? Does the second sister have anything to say? Sister Fang Cai said that there is no matter, what is the explanation for this? ”

Aunt Xue listened to it on the side, and laughed crookedly: "Ouch, you kid, you have asked this long list of questions coldly, how can you answer them?" ”

Xiaohong greeted a few guests very simply, and then replied with a smile on her face: "Second Master Huibao, the maid is the big girl next to our girl." Last time, Miss Bao was curious about the star fruit wine and apple cider vinegar brewed by our girl, and it just so happened that the first batch of brewed ones could already be opened, so our girl asked the maid to send some to Miss Bao. As he spoke, he handed the basket in his hand to Ying'er behind Xue Baochai. He also said: "The maid listened to Bao Er Ye outside and said that Bao Er Ye had a hidden disease, so I said a few more words here, and if there is anything I can't do, please also ask Bao Er Ye Haihan." ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "You say it, you say it." ”

Xiaohong said again, and then said: "Back to the second master, our girl once muttered on her lips, saying that this kind of illness is not uncommon for Miss Bao. Some children are pampered when they hit the ground, and the family is reluctant to let him bask in the sun or see the moon, let alone see the wind. When I was a baby, there was a brazier burning in the house, and I saw that the child was not easy to freeze, but I didn't know that the child's heart and lungs had been injured by charcoal. When such children grow up, a considerable number of people will cough as soon as the weather changes, not to mention autumn and winter, even spring and summer. This kind of problem is not big or small, say that he is a serious disease, but ordinary doctors can't diagnose what the disease is, but if he is said to be a small disease, it can make people cough up half of their lives...... "In a simple sentence, it is that the children of rich and noble families are troublesome. If the children of poor families don't have so many coals at all, naturally they don't have so many things.

When Aunt Xue heard this, she immediately said, "Amitabha, that's it, that's it!" Our baby girl was born in January, the winter of that year was very cold, our lord was afraid that our baby girl would freeze, and specially added charcoal fire. We used to do it for the good of our children, where would we have thought that this would make our baby girl suffer for the past few years?! The second girl, can you say that there is any way to heal it? ”

Xiaohong hurriedly said: "Look at what my aunt said, our girl is so young, and she is not a serious doctor, where can she do this to prescribe medicine?" It's just that I heard a home remedy from the elders in my family, and I don't know if it works. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "You say." ”

Xiaohong said: "Peel and core the best autumn pears and stew them with rock sugar." Taking a cup a day is better than any medicine. Miss Bao turned out to be injured by charcoal fire when she was a child, and this autumn pear is a rare thing to clear heat and moisten the lungs. ”

It's just an ordinary recipe, but the mood of the person listening to it is different, and the feeling is not the same.

Aunt Xue immediately said, "Amitabha, why did I forget this." Autumn pears and rock candy are easy to obtain, and it doesn't take much to eat them for ten or eight years. Bao girl, I will ask someone to stew autumn pears for you at night. Eat for two months, if you don't get sick in these two months, we will ask you to get an ice cellar below to put pears. ”

Xue Baochai hurriedly thanked her mother, and thanked Xiaohong, and then took the basket from Xiaohong's hand in person, and said: "I just said that back then, and it was difficult for the second sister to worry about it all the time." Coincidentally, we came back from the south of the shop, and brought a few jars of Huiquan wine, I remember the last time the second sister said that the taste of the Huadiao roasted fish in Beijing was always a little worse, and I don't know if this is in line with the taste of the second sister. Since you are here, you can bring the two altars back by the way, and I will not have to let the mother-in-law below run again. ”

Xiaohong responded crisply, Ying'er went for a while, and when she turned around, she came in with two mothers-in-law, one carrying two jars of wine, and the other holding a tightly tied ham, even the wine bottle in the basket in Ying'er's arms was also replaced by four tea cans.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Speaking of wine and food in the south, this Huiquan wine is the same, and this ham is the same." The taste of ham in Beijing is also slightly different from that in the south, and the second sister grew up in Beijing, and I don't know if I have ever eaten authentic Jinhua ham. And this, this is the dragon well before the Ming Dynasty. I remember that Qian'er and Qing'er were originally from Hangzhou? Here are four cans of tea for the second sister two cans, and Qian'er and Qing'er have one can each, which is considered a little bit of my heart. ”

Xiaohong immediately saluted and said, "In this case, the maid will thank Miss Bao on behalf of our girl." ”

Xue Baochai smiled: "Where." You girls have a lot of things, and you are clever, I'm afraid that your girls can't leave you, and I won't keep you. Please also be careful on the road. ”

Xiaohong thanked Xue Baochai again, and greeted Jia Baoyu and Tanchun Shi Xiangyun again, and then took the two mothers-in-law away. (To be continued......)
