Chapter 57. Fan covers

Today is the dragon raising its head, it is the most prosperous day of the year, so Qingwen plans to give this fan cover to Shui Rong at night, for fear of forgetting, Qingwen will bring the fan cover on her body, so as not to forget it at night.

I really don't know if he will be happy when he sees the fan cover, Qingwen thought about this, so she smiled and went to work.

Today it is said that there are important things in the house, please Qingwen has been busy with this embroidery fan set these days, Qiu Fu Jin Chuan They know that Qingwen is very busy, so they didn't bother her, but today it is said that there is something very important, so even Qingwen, who usually specializes in teaching embroidery, was called out to work on an errand today.

Qingwen also asked Jin Chuan in private, Jin Chuan is the big maid prepared by Mrs. Wang's side, so she knows a little bit about many things in the courtyard, but this time, even Jin Chuan doesn't know what it is.

After a busy morning, Qingwen and Jin Chuan sat in the small kitchen eating together, and it was the time when spring sprouted recently, so there were many wild vegetables in the recipe, and the descendants of the family mansion, like Qingwen and them, although they did not worry about food and clothing, they were just ordinary chickens, ducks, fish and goose eggs.

In the eyes of rural farmers, these wild vegetables can only be used to satisfy the stomach in the spring when they are green and yellow, but in the mouths of Qingwen and them, they are rare mountain freshness.

For the small plate of cold wolfberry sprouts in front of Qingwen, it costs half a penny, which is because the mother's daughter in the small kitchen learned embroidery from Qingwen, and Qingwen told her in advance.

Qingwen also has a small asset now, so although she doesn't spend a lot of money, she is not as frugal as she used to be in some food and clothing.

Qingwen looked at Jin Chuan's food, and saw that her meals were all roast duck and braised pork, which was very greasy, so she sandwiched a chopstick between her wolfberry sprouts and gave it to Jin Chuan, and said: "Why is my sister's dish so greasy today, the girl's family, although she can't blindly learn from the gods, but it's so greasy, and it's not good for the stomach. ”

Jin Chuan had originally learned embroidery from Qingwen, and had two friendships, after coming to Rongxi Hall, Jin Chuan was regarded as a prepared big girl, and secretly did not know how many people's eyes were recruited, but because everyone has a stake, Jin Chuan has no one to talk to, but Qingwen is a unique existence in Rongxi Hall, and even in Jiafu.

Although she is only a second-class maid next to Mrs. Wang, but the monthly money leads the first-class maid, plus she is the foreman of Xiaoxiufang, many little maids in the house are her apprentices, like Jiafu and other decades of the marquis family, the relationship between the people in the house is intertwined, so Qingwen's connections in Jiafu are no worse than ordinary family children.

But she has no stake in others, even if someone is jealous of her, but she doesn't have the ability, so in the eyes of the people in Jiafu, she is a person who is neither comparable nor jealous, and a little unprovoked.

As soon as Jin Chuan heard this, he picked up the vegetables that Qingwen picked up for her, and put them in his mouth, the freshly picked wolfberry sprouts were only blanched with water and saladed, the taste was refreshing and tender, Jin Chuan chewed and chewed, remembering his experience these days, he couldn't help but roll down tears.

"Sister doesn't know, since I was elected as the eldest girl, I don't know how much I have been excluded, but I can't say it, so I can only cry in front of my sister, and I hope my sister doesn't want to laugh at me."

Qingwen took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, this maid was a lively and cheerful person who loved to laugh when she was a second-class maid before, but since she became a big maid, she gradually fell silent, Qingwen saw her crying, and she was also distressed, after all, this girl was younger than herself, about Baoyu's age.

"It's mediocre not to be jealous, although my sister is experiencing some difficulties now, but if you are not better than them, how can you be jealous of them, my sister should be happy."

"Really, sister." Jin Chuan had tears in his eyes, but asked with a look of surprise: "It's mediocre if you don't attract envy?" ”

"Naturally it's true," Qingwen looked at Jin Chuan's bright eyes, thinking about her previous life, she died early, and she still carried that reputation,

Qingwen couldn't bear it, and reminded: "It's just that the more jealous people are, the more we have to keep a low profile, and take out a posture of pampering and not being shocked, so that those people can understand the gap between themselves and us."

Don't learn from those prodigal hooves and make up your mind with the master, it won't end well. ”

Jin Chuan heard Qingwen's words, felt a little strange, I don't know why Qingwen wants to mention these things to herself today, although I don't understand, but Jin Chuan also knows that Qingwen is for her own good, her master, Mrs. Wang, isn't she the most disgusted with the slaves and maids in the house seducing her son, so she kept these words in her heart,

"Thank you, sister, I made a note of it." After speaking, he smiled sweetly at Qingwen.

Qingwen looked at her smile and was very emotional, she only hoped that these words would make her more vigilant and not to repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

In the afternoon, Qingwen and Jin Chuan were arranged by Mrs. Wang to go to Yihong Courtyard to supervise the cleaning and tidying up of the little maids, and Qingwen knew that it was Baoyu who was coming back.

It's no wonder, after all, apart from the eyes of the masters of Jiafu, who else is worthy of such a big arrangement.

Although Qingwen knew that there was a relationship between Baoyu and the attacker, although Baoyu was wrong in that incident, Baoyu was still like a younger brother in her heart, he was a kind young man who had not grown up, and most of his net worth was given by Baoyu.

Qingwen was looking at the furnishings in the room and sighed, when she heard a stack of voices outside: "The second master is fine." ”

In a blink of an eye, she saw Baoyu at the door, and Qingwen hurriedly squatted down to say goodbye. Baoyu came back from this study tour, and the overall change has changed a lot, she has grown taller, and she is also calm, unlike before, she can be seen through her mind at a glance.

Among them, the most changed is temperament, a little less gentlemanly, a few more wisps of bookish spirit, because of this bit of bookish spirit, Baoyu looks very different from before.

"Say hello to the second master, and welcome the second master back home." Qingwen said. "It turned out to be Sister Qingwen, I said that I haven't lived in this courtyard for a long time, and when I came back, the layout was as before, it turned out to be arranged by Sister Qingwen, and I thank my sister here." Baoyu said with a smile, and helped Qingwen up again and again.

"Didn't my sister go to Madame's residence, why is she in Yihong Courtyard today, but something happened halfway, I might be able to help my sister?" Qingwen saw that although Baoyu said on the surface that she wanted to help herself, she was still full of joy when she said that she was still in Yihong Courtyard, which was the same as before.

Qingwen looked at this young master, who had always been like her younger brother, and smiled speechlessly: "The second master doesn't know, I am now in the courtyard of the lady, but the second master came back in a hurry recently, and the lady didn't have time to choose the big girl for you, so she ordered me to take care of the yard for the young master temporarily, and I will go back in a few days." “

Qingwen saw that Baoyu was in a very low mood, so she changed the topic and asked, "The second master came back this time, but what is the urgency, have you seen the old lady and the old lady?" “

"I've been to see my ancestor and mother, but my father hasn't returned home yet, so I haven't seen him."

Baoyu said: "As for why I came back, I'll sell it first, and ask my sister to guess." “

"Is it that the concubine in the palace is about to give birth, and the second master came back to hug the little nephew?" Qingwen thought for a long time and said.

After all, during this period of time, there was no injury or illness of any master in the house, and there were no weddings and funerals, although there were many things that were not big or small, such as the second lady welcoming the spring and marrying Uncle Xue, etc., but Baoyu had not been back for many years before in order to study, how could he come back for these things.

"Sister Qingwen is so smart, but she only guessed half right." Baoyu said mysteriously.

"What is the other half?" Second master, don't sell it, I'm really curious, "It seems that Sister Qingwen doesn't care about me at all." Baoyu shook his head and said with a pretended sigh: "Sister, don't you know, what am I going to Guilin County to do these days?" “

Qingwen rolled her eyes at Baoyu and said, "Who in this mansion doesn't know, our second master Bao went to Guilin County to read the book of sages, such a big thing, if someone in the mansion doesn't know, it would be strange." Tell me, what the hell is going on? “

"Has my sister been out of the house recently?" Baoyu smiled slightly and asked.

"Naturally, there is, but what does this have to do with your coming back," Qingwen said in surprise.

"Since my sister can't guess, let's talk to me about a game, if my sister wins, I'll tell my sister why, if I win, my sister will give me something, okay? Anyway, my father didn't come back until night, and my grandmother thought I was tired when I came back, so she urged me to rest first, and there was nothing to do, and my sister should only accompany me to pass the time. “

Before Qingwen left, Qingwen would have only had a little bit of chess rules, but under the tempering of Shui Rong, she also made considerable progress, Shui Rong said that Qingwen's current level should be invincible in Jiafu, although Qingwen felt that there was some moisture in this, but her chess skills were not too bad, since Baoyu said so, why not agree to it.

Qingwen took out the chessboard, and the two lined up in the warm pavilion, and after a fight, in the end, Baoyu won Qingwen with a half-son advantage.

Seeing this, Qingwen was quite distracted by the water in her heart, blaming this person, saying that her current chess skills are invincible all over Jiafu, but the first time she played with the people in Jiafu, she lost, it seems that his words do not contain water, but are all water.

Baoyu was also a little surprised at this time, her own chess skills were taught by the best chess doctor in the academy, and Qingwen was able to play against herself for so long, and she only won half of her, which was really incredible.

However, Baoyu has never taken these things to heart, and when she saw that she had won, she thought that it was time to ask Qingwen for her loot: "Sister, have you thought about what to give me?" Baoyu said with a playful look in his eyes.

"I will take whatever the second master likes, and it is my honor to let the second master take a fancy to it." Qingwen spread her hand and said with a smile.

"Where...... How's this thing? Baoyu pulled out the fan cover exposed from Qingwen's cuffs and said.

Baoyu was originally joking with Qingwen, but when playing chess, Qingwen was so focused that she didn't even know that the fan cover was exposed, and the corner of the exposed corner was exquisitely patterned, so Baoyu took a fancy to it.
