2. Prepare to enter Beijing

Now the main family has been removed, the people below are attentive, rewarded, but also jubilant, this day seems to be getting better and better, Steward Zhang especially likes to say this sentence, it is true, last year the master passed away, all the houses came to force the position, this Xue family weaving house is like the same storm in the broken ship, with the wind fluttering, I don't know when it will be all destroyed, at that time there was really a sense of panic and difficulty in the end of each flight uneasy, but to the back of the family this is prosperous again, Speaking of life, life is much better than before, although Steward Zhang's words, although chattering, are unanimously agreed by all the big guys.

The two maids came from far and near, holding silk threads and other objects in their hands, through the sea of pomegranate flowers like orange clouds, and arrived at the main courtyard of the Xue Wang's family together, a young girl was embroidering something with her head down, and when she saw the maid coming, she raised her head and smiled, "Uncle, is there a rest?" ”

"It's too early or late," the maid said with a smile, "Grandpa Zhang said that a few masters outside sat down, but I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to rest for a while." ”

Xue Baochai nodded and said with a smile, "Just out of filial piety, my brother is upset about the rules, just to have fun, let's do our own," I saw Xue Baochai pick up a bright pomegranate flower from the side, and carefully threaded it with silver needles and silk threads at the pedicle, so that a pomegranate flower bracelet came out after a while, and the maid on the side was funny, "The girl's needlework is good, this pomegranate flower bunch, we can't do it well." ”

"You guys are doing better than me," Xue Baochai said, "Today, the big guys will do it together, the wives and girls in the family, and you, each of them will have a string." ”

The maid smiled and thanked her, and sat down around Baochai, together with a needle and thread to string pomegranate flowers, the old customs of Jinling, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, to pick off the pomegranate flowers, wear them into a bracelet, wear them on the body, and then drink realgar wine, you can avoid the five poisons, can ensure the health of the whole year, so at the beginning of May, every household has to do it themselves.

The master and servant smiled at Yan Yan, and after a while, Xue Wang's family came, and when he saw Baochai swinging his needle and thread in the shade of the tree, he said, "My son, your body is just right, but you can't get this, if you are tired, it will be bad at that time." ”

At the beginning of April, Baochai had a serious illness for no reason, fortunately it was well recuperated, so it was okay, at this time it was also abnormal, the people underground kept spreading that Baochai was seriously ill when there was a faint red light in the middle of the night in the middle of the night, the wonders of fairy music were ethereal, I was afraid that the girl was the stars in the sky, and now she was going back to heaven, Xue Wang's hearing such words could not help but be heartbroken and crying, and there were monks and humanitarians who came to the door one after another to say that they wanted to make Baochai a monk, so as to avoid the disaster, Xue Pan heard it was angry, took down all the monks, ignoring the obstruction of the Xue Wang clan, he beat dozens of boards with boards in front of the house, and instructed his family, "If there are any more demons to confuse the public, they will be killed and sent to the official!" ”

It's strange to say, after Xue Pan had such an attack, Xue Baochai's body slowly got better, and he raised it for a few days, and ate the cold incense pills before, and it was much better, Xue Pan didn't believe in these monks and nuns, but Xue Wang's family was extremely pious, and he secretly asked someone to go to Baoguo Temple to worship the Buddha's sea lantern, and then it was really good, Xue Wang's family also felt that it was his own credit, and he became more and more devout to the gods and Buddhas, Xue Pan did not listen to repeated persuasions, so he had to secretly tell the family to surround Xue Wang's grandmother, to be vigilant, Don't let those scoundrels coax you, "When the wife is blinded by lard and wants the girl to leave the house, I will send you all to the nunnery to work as coolies." ”

Becoming a monk is not fun, that is the most poor and hard place in the world, the descendants of the Xue family, and the masters of the idle family must not be so rich, everyone originally thought that the uncle was the most amiable, but I didn't expect to almost kill someone in front of the house for the eldest girl, it seems that the rumors of the little overlord outside are correct, so they surrounded the Xue Wang family, and faced all the monks and nuns like a great enemy, this is the previous word, not for the time being.

Hearing her mother's concerned question, Baochai got up with a smile and said, "Where is it so delicate, I will raise it for a few days, and my body will be well for a long time, it's just a matter of wearing strings." ”

"That's good," Xue Wang chanted the Buddha, "Now that your body is better, the things at home are over, I see that although the weather is warmer, it's not that you can't go far, but I only think about your body, at least you have to raise it before entering Beijing." ”

"My daughter's body is already well," Baochai said with a smile, "It's okay to go out, not to mention that when we enter Beijing, we must also take a boat, the Grand Canal is smooth all the way, there are no bumps, why can't we go out?" ”

"That's the best, your brother feels sorry for you the most, although he wants to enter Beijing, but he cares about your body, so he hasn't left the calculation these days."

"But Uncle Duzhong wants our family to enter Beijing?"

"Yes, your second uncle has written several times, and he wants to ask us to enter Beijing, but your brother said that he is still in filial piety, and it is not good to go out at will, so in April, this letter asked us to move our family into Beijing, saying that there are a few old sisters, I married to Jinling, and I have not seen each other for many years, and the spring and autumn will grow in the future, but I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities to meet, and I think in my heart," Xue Wang's eyes were slightly red, "The second brother has the most headaches in the past day, and others can't say this, but your second uncle said that I am the most unbelievable." ”

"In this case, I should also go to Beijing to meet my uncle and aunt," Baochai said with a smile, "There are also some cousins, all of whom are relatives and did not know each other in the past, if they meet in the future, but they don't know who this person is, they understand that it is not good to lose their manners for no reason, and they should move around more." ”

Xue Wang's family was also extremely happy to see Baochai so sensible, "It's this reason, if we go to someone else's house, we are naturally afraid of gossiping, but your second uncle and aunt are all compatriots who are the same mother and mother, and they used to be the most amiable at home, but they are older, and I am afraid that they will no longer be cordial." ”

Xue Wang's family seemed to be a little uneasy, and Baochai comforted: "It must be okay, since the second uncle has written letters repeatedly, and he is also thinking about his mother, the affairs of the family, let my brother take care of it properly, we are in Beijing, but the gifts of these relatives, my mother still has to look at it carefully, and we must not lose the courtesy." ”

Xue Wangshi nodded again and again, "My son, it's hard for you to think of this, although there are a lot of things in the warehouse, it's not a mix of everything, you help your mother usher in the delivery these days, you know the severity, but it's much better than your brother who eats and drinks every day, if you don't consult, who will you look for?" ”
