Chapter 64. Jin Chuan
After the meal, Mrs. Wang asked Jin Chuan to lead Baoyu to Yihong Courtyard to rest, and the rest of the young ladies also went back.
Originally, it should have been the time for Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng to be alone, after all, the child Baoyu shared by the two was angry, according to the habits of ordinary couples, this is the time for the two to remember and sigh about the difficulties of the past, as well as to mend their relationship.
There is an Aunt Zhao who doesn't know how to be interested, and she has been talking about everything, but she just doesn't leave, that is, Mrs. Wang has secretly warned her several times, but Aunt Zhao still takes care of herself, and she doesn't hear it.
Qingwen saw that the handkerchief on Mrs. Wang's hand was about to be torn, as a loyal servant, wasn't it time for her to behave, when Aunt Zhao and Jia Zheng reminisced about the past and added fragrance to their red sleeves together, Qingwen made a move.
"Master, do you still remember that my name Qiuru was given to me by you, and you also taught me to write these two words, I still remember that it was autumn, you wrote in front of the bookcase, and saw that I was wearing an autumn-colored dress, so you praised me for being as quiet as autumn, and called me Qiuru. You also".
"My aunt has said so much, I'm afraid I'm also thirsty, let me renew it for my aunt." Qingwen took the teapot from Aunt Zhao's back and added a new cup to Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao was originally a little dissatisfied with this maid interrupting her speech, after all, looking at Jia Zheng's appearance, after a while, she would be able to arouse his pity.
When the time comes, he can take the opportunity to invite Jia Zheng to his Qiuru Pavilion, so that the people in the Manchu Mansion will know that even if Baoyu is a little angry now, the inner courtyard of the Jia family is still the most favored.
But hearing Qingwen say this, she really felt a little thirsty, so she took the tea in Qingwen's hand.
Unexpectedly, when she received the tea, a good cup of tea actually fell on Aunt Zhao's face, ruining all the makeup she had carefully painted in the morning.
Now the complexion on the face is half white, generally yellow, and half of the yellow face is splashed with water, mixed with eyebrows, lipstick, rouge and gouache, a mess, and then compared with the careful makeup next to her, Aunt Zhao, who was originally beautiful and seductive, looks like a female ghost and ugly demon.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang held back the smile in her heart, and before Aunt Zhao spoke, she scolded Qingwen and said: "Clumsy things, don't get out quickly, this little thing can't be done well, what's the use of keeping you, Qiu Fu, punish her for half a month, and now pull her out for me, so as not to make Aunt Zhao angry." ”
As he spoke, he gave Qiu Fu a look, and Qiu Fu was naturally "furious" and pulled Qingwen out, while Qingwen was "sobbing and clicking", full of "grievances".
Aunt Zhao originally thought that Mrs. Wang said, "What's the use of keeping Qingwen", thinking that Mrs. Wang was going to sell Qingwen, at least she was to drive her out of Jiafu and distribute it to Zhuangzi, but she didn't expect Mrs. Wang to be fined half a month and the money was over, and the three of them made up their minds to treat themselves as monkeys.
Aunt Zhao felt in her heart that she couldn't just forget it: "Master, you have to be the master of the concubine, and now even a maid can bully the concubine." Woowoo"
When Mrs. Wang saw Aunt Zhao like this, she was a little angry in her heart, this slut, playing this trick again, she is a lot older, her son is about to marry a wife, what kind of twenty-eight girl is she pretending, hiding her face and weeping, is this when she is a dead person?
opened his mouth and wanted to teach Aunt Zhao a lesson, but was silently pulled by the grandmother behind him, Mrs. Wang was still puzzled, after all, her grandmother was the same as herself, she didn't like Aunt Zhao very much, why did she stop herself today?
Before Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, she heard Jia Zheng next to her scolding: "A concubine, actually shouting in front of the old lady, your rules have been learned there, Mrs. has already punished that girl, what else do you want, do you want Mrs. to apologize to you, I think you are really going back more and more." ”
Jia Zheng looked at Aunt Zhao's half-flowered face, coupled with the spring light revealed after the tea on his chest, and he was even more angry.
After all, although men like their women not to be too old-fashioned in the house, they want their women to be best wrapped when they go out of the house, and cover their faces, hands and feet.
And in order to show her graceful posture today, Aunt Zhao specially changed into a thin spring shirt, and only wore a Kezi on her chest, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
Jia Zheng was a little dissatisfied before, in front of a room of juniors, Aunt Zhao is also a concubine, it is really inappropriate to dress like this, but in front of everyone before, Jia Zheng is not good at saying anything.
Now the Kezi is wet with tea, and it is all attached to Aunt Zhao's skin, which is made of tulle, very light and thin, and now it is wet, as if it is not worn, it will not be delicate, but it is not far behind.
Jia Zheng suddenly felt that he seemed to have the possibility of a green cloud cover, and Aunt Zhao was not interested, at this time, she didn't go back to take care of her clothes, but continued to mess around in the house, Jia Zheng naturally didn't have a good look at her.
Mrs. Wang heard Jia Zheng's reprimand, and then thought about Aunt Zhao's appearance, she guessed the real reason why Jia Zheng was angry, although she didn't like Aunt Zhao, but the upbringing of the ladies in Jia Zheng's inner courtyard was also under her control, so she ordered the little maid to get a cloak to wrap Aunt Zhao in.
"Go back and give me a three-day punishment to kneel in the ancestral hall, recite the virtues of a woman, and learn what a woman should do, hum" After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and went to the inner room, Mrs. Wang saw this, smiled dignified at Aunt Zhao, and followed.
Only then did Aunt Zhao realize that she was infinitely springy at this time, and hurriedly took her maid out of the door.
After going out, Aunt Zhao saw that Qingwen and Qiu Fu were talking and laughing under the corridor, and she was even more sure that Mrs. Wang had just rehearsed a scene and made herself embarrassed in front of Jia Zheng.
Thinking of Mrs. Wang's provocative smile at herself before, coupled with the fact that she was going to go to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days and copy the three conformities and four virtues, Aunt Zhao was even more resentful of Mrs. Qingwen Wang's first-class in her heart.
After Jia Zheng left, Mrs. Wang ordered Qingwen to go in and rewarded Qingwen with a gold leaf, although the master and servant didn't say anything, but Qingwen knew that this was Mrs. Wang's reward for helping to punish Aunt Zhao in the afternoon, so she also took it generously.
However, Mrs. Wang said that since she was going to be punished, she had to at least show Jia Zheng so that she could stop Aunt Zhao's mouth.
Then he ordered Qingwen to stay in the house as much as possible and go out less, so as to give Qingwen a vacation, so as not to be seen by Aunt Zhao and find a chance to find fault.
When Qingwen heard this, she naturally agreed, these days Qingwen wants to cut and sew clothes for Baoyu, and she has to go to Mrs. Wang, Qingwen is already tired.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I just finished the clothes, and I could breathe a sigh of relief, so Qingwen heard Mrs. Wang say this, so she happily accepted it.
For three days in a row, Qingwen was doing embroidery in her own house, Shui Rong came, the two of them tasted tea and painted together, read books and played chess, and Shui Rong also took Qingwen to the roof ridge to see the moon, a small crescent moon, hanging in the night, the atmosphere was very beautiful, Qingwen felt that the days were very leisurely.
After a few more days, Qingwen finally finished Baoyu's clothes, which could have been done with her craftsmanship, but she had to avoid Shuijun, because since Shuirong found out that Qingwen was actually making clothes for Baoyu, she got angry. ignored Qingwen for a long time, and later saw that Qingwen ignored him because of this, so he changed to live and die and didn't let Qingwen do it.
Qingwen didn't know why at first, but later after Qingwen used a kiss to routine, poor Shui Rong grew so big, and she was only moved by Qingwen, so three times five divided by two, Qingwen knew that the reason why Shui Rong was like this was because I was jealous, and he didn't want Qingwen to make clothes for other men. At that time, Shui Rong also released words, saying: "It is said that Baoyu wants to wear it, and some women want to make clothes for him."
For example, the lady of Zhao Yushi's family and the daughter of Prosecutor Li's family have long wanted to send a handkerchief to Baoyu to make clothes. ”
When Qingwen heard this, she no longer dared to make clothes for Baoyu in front of the water, so she had to secretly complete the task given to her by Mrs. Wang behind her back.
After all, the lady of the Zhao Yushi family and the daughter of the Li Prosecutor's family, in terms of their fame in the capital, they don't have to be water-soluble at all, but the difference is that the two of them are notorious, one has five husbands in a row and was taken home, while the other is unmarried and pregnant, and she gave birth to the child in a big way, planning to find a father for her son in the capital.
Although Qingwen has no love for Baoyu, she can't harm him, especially this kind of scourge for a lifetime, Qingwen is really afraid that if she does it, it will damage his blessings.
Therefore, all in all, Qingwen has tried not to take Baoyu's work since then, but she really can't shirk it, and she also does it secretly without it.
On this day, Qingwen held her head and made clothes, so she went to find Baoyu, Baoyu came to Rongxi Hall at noon and had lunch with Mrs. Wang, Qingwen heard Qiu Fu say that Baoyu did not leave at this time, but enjoyed the cool next to the well in the afternoon.
So Qingwen planned to send the clothes directly to Baoyu, first let him see if they fit, if not, he could write them down on the spot, and then take them back to modify them, so as not to delay the little maids on the road by sending clothes back and forth.
At this time, it was noon, Mrs. Wang was taking a nap, the whole Rongxi Hall was quiet, Qingwen walked to the backyard with her clothes, and heard the laughter of Jin Chuan and Baoyu behind a row of osmanthus trees.
"Well, I didn't expect that we were born on the same day, or on the same day and month of the same year, it's really fate." Baoyu's flirtatious voice came from behind the tree, and Qingwen frowned when she heard it.
Baoyu has a temper that makes fun of anyone who is good-looking, she knows it, but she didn't expect that after Baoyu went to Guilin County to study, this bad habit didn't change at all, and he had to laugh at everyone he saw, he knew that this would kill people.
Jin Chuan in the previous life was reprimanded by Mrs. Wang because of this, and then he was humiliated and committed suicide by throwing himself into a well.
As soon as Qingwen thought of this, she hurriedly wanted to interrupt their conversation, but it was still too late, and the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground suddenly came from the house.
