Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

Qingwen's shop is rented, but it is backed by the shiny Rongguo Mansion. It can be said that it is rented in the second ring road at a friendly price. Not to mention the gorgeous facade, the flat and carved bluestone slabs at the door extend out, and you can't see the end at a glance. .

There are also carved pillars everywhere in the street market, which simply puts the word wealth and honor on your face!

Before Xi Ren came in, Zhao Lu was the one dressed most simply. After Xi Ren arrived...

"What's wrong with her? Miss Shi won't give her monthly money?" Zhao Lu seemed a little indignant at Qingwen's help to Xiren.

A sense of betrayal that a revolutionary friendship had become impure spread throughout him, so he looked at the people next to him in disbelief.

However, when he looked up at Hua Xiren's desolate look, his words seemed to be a joke.

It was a kind of secret satisfaction of karma, and he could resist the urge to add insult to injury. Zhao Lu thought that he was already very kind.

Xiren is now Shi Xiangyun's female envoy, but the little girl named Cuixi next to Miss Shi is young, petty and naive, and is far less capable than Xiren in worldly affairs. She has another good luck, and He controlled Miss Shi just like he controlled Baoyu, and at least she didn't ask her parents and brothers to sell it again.

After all, Jia's family couldn't stop her from getting married and having children.

"It's a pity that Miss Shi is also a poor person. She can't even protect herself if she follows her uncle and aunt. If it weren't for the help of the old lady, she would hardly be able to take care of her anymore. How can I help her with advice?" Qingwen was proud and pitiful at the same time. , looking at him with a bit of condescension, feeling a little complicated.

When Xiren raised his head and came over, he saw a sneer at the corner of Qingwen's mouth.She forced a smile, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop curling up. There was a trace of clothes behind the door leaf. Although she didn't see it clearly, her figure looked like Yunzhu.

Oh, no, it should be Zhao Lu.

The same parents have no one to rely on, but they can be promoted step by step. Others say that Taiyuan Hospital is a poor place. If it were in the past, Xiren would also feel the same way.

Only after walking through hell did she know what it was like to have no control in the hands of others. She lamented that she had seen infinite scenery, but she could not see as clearly as a child.

After some preparation, it turned into a bamboo basket to fetch water. Baoyu... Recently, she didn't think much about Baoyu.

Miss Shi said that the old lady had proposed marriage to Baoyu to the official media and wanted to hire Miss Lin as Baoyu's second mistress. Although the Holy Father did not reply, she was very happy to see her childhood sweetheart. When the old lady asked for help again on her eightieth birthday, Baoyu It will surely come true, right?

The midsummer wind also added to the hustle and bustle, rushing past her. The corners of her mouth moved, and it seemed like a huge gap in front of her, tearing her past and present apart.

In those charming dreams, the gradually blurred face was like a huge slap in the face, which made her dizzy and did not speak, and also laughed at her wishful thinking.

When he came to his senses again, he had already walked far away from Qingwen's shop.

"Did she suffer from some kind of soul-leaving syndrome and she will die soon?" Thinking of Xiren's dull eyes, Zhao Lu suddenly felt that Qingwen might not be so kind. It must be because she was dying, so he gave her some warmth indiscriminately.

You have to know how many times Qingwen was scolded by Mrs. Wang, all because of the trouble caused by Sister Hua's secret accusation. Logically speaking, she would only hate Xiren more than herself.

Why are you helping her sell embroidery samples? This is unreasonable!

"Come on, you just treat me as my sister. I fed a stray dog." She just put on the wrong tendon for a moment, and that's why the dog skin plaster stuck to it, so it's not like she couldn't throw it away.

Okay, Qingwen is born with a bodhisattva heart. If she rushes to the temple tomorrow to talk to her, God will definitely bless her with a lot of money.

But she didn't know how to say these words to the little girl. After all, those same enemies were still vivid in her mind. It was only when she thought of the white-eyed wolf Wu Gui on Zhuangzi that she felt a little bit pity for Hua Xisheng. Quan should be in Have pity on your past self.

Qingwen said it calmly, as if Xiren was a kitten or puppy on the roadside.

However, this did not prevent Zhao Lu from feeling relieved. The weird feeling of fighting for friends in a university dormitory rose in his heart, and he asked her to wave it aside, and then happily put his arm on Qingwen's arm, "Can't I have time? I Invite you to eat Xiyanzhai’s lotus ice cheese.”

It is a kind of egg custard with smoothie added, which is a bit like pudding. It is made into the shape of lotus leaves and lotus leaves. It tastes ice-sweet and smooth. Eating a bowl of it in summer is most refreshing.

Only the appearance of the attacker made them a little uninterested. Although Zhao Lu wanted to go out and wander around and see the people in the city, after all, she still had the seed of buying a house in her heart.

But Qingwen was worried about the house, and she unknowingly added a sad look: "The old lady is celebrating her eightieth birthday this year, so it is supposed to be a big event. I have finished all the clothes, and I am just waiting for the old lady to try them on before I can hand over the work.

Mrs. Pian said that she was making hats with her head in front of her and told her not to be extravagant. It was a pity that she was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. There was nowhere for me to eat. "

"Are the clothes too gorgeous?" Zhao Lu asked, tilting his head.

Qingwen nodded, "His Majesty personally rewarded the Zema hair imported from the Western Regions during last year's imperial congratulations. Sister Yuanyang said that it was the old lady's eightieth birthday, and maybe someone from the palace would come. Let's throw these old things up. Maybe It would make His Majesty happy."

What do you call Your Majesty?I'm afraid I'm not happy.

It's nothing more than asking the emperor to remember the Jia family's merits, or to be lenient to the Jia family, or to show pity to Yuanchun. It seems that the old lady has noticed the turmoil of the Holy Grace and is actively saving herself.

Zema Mao is a treasure of tribute from the Western Regions. It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty received such a piece of Jiguang fur woven with Zema Mao. It has a rare reputation of being invulnerable to water and fire. However, in this dynasty, it refers to all the people in the Western Regions. Precious weaving thread as tribute from the country.

The level of cherishment is... that every high-level Madam Gaoming has one of these.The only advantage is probably that His Majesty personally gave it to me, and brought some dignity that the other items did not have.

The door to the backyard was closed, and Qingwen showed a helpless expression, and said in frustration: "I've done it all, and Yuanyang and the others have discussed it carefully before doing it. Now my wife says it's too extravagant and difficult to be a good person, isn't it?"

There was nothing she could do to persuade her, so she started to make hats with her head in front of her head. She thought that the financial situation of the Jia family had reached a precarious stage.

Sister Feng was forced to pay for the dowry, so she gave up her choice.

"Have you seen this, old lady?" I can understand Mrs. Wang's mentality of saving money everywhere, but her life span is once every ten years, and she is an elder. If Jia's mother is satisfied, what else can she say as a daughter-in-law?
Speaking of this, Qingwen's face became even more sad, and she spread her hands and said: "The old lady spends more time sleeping and less time awake now, and she doesn't allow us to disturb her."

"I asked Baoyu to ask for help, but there was no reply for a long time. I was so worried!"

Qingwen's eyes became increasingly violent, and it was obvious that Mrs. Wang was pushing her harder.

It’s not easy for people to grow old. Although I can’t remember exactly when Jia’s mother died, but based on the average life span of ancient people... To be disrespectful, I have been dizzy for a few times, maybe it’s just these few days. years.

"If you can't see the old lady, can you still not see Yuanyang? Asking Sister Yuanyang to make the final decision is a clear way to pass the old lady." If she wants to say that Mrs. Wang is difficult to deal with, she should go over Mrs. Wang. The most representative person in the house is Jia Jia. There is nothing more female than a mandarin duck.

Qingwen was stunned for a moment, apparently so angry that she forgot that this was the case.

She looked at Zhao Lu's thin face, waved her hand, quickly picked up the money bag, and smiled before going out: "You're right, you can play by yourself, next time I'll treat you to the Laoshizi cheese." !" Well, when it comes to wind and rain, no one can compare to Qingwen.

The hosts had all left, so there was no reason why the guests were still here. Zhao Lu said hello and walked out leisurely.

I had a bowl of beancurd noodle paste for lunch, which was quite filling, so I walked back just in time to catch up with the market. If there were fat fish and shrimps, I would eat boiled fish tonight.

After dinner, I wrote the letter to Zhao San. I will just ask the postman to send it away when I go on duty tomorrow.

She arranged it well.

I was thinking about buying another donkey when suddenly a foreigner riding a horse appeared on the street.

From a distance, you can see the blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a flamboyant tuxedo that makes the whole body unique. The tall horse is running freely, completely ignoring the crowds and narrow roads here.

The missionaries who came across the ocean brought clocks and oil paintings, which were completely different from the mathematical mysteries of Jiu Zhang's arithmetic. They also had money to help them. They were treated as honored guests for a while. It seemed that they could even visit the Emperor's Hall. No wonder they were so arrogant. .

However, he couldn't help but walk towards Xicao City Street.

Lin Yu is a young carpenter with many tricks, but the old master always disdains his flashy temperament, so he always suppresses his arrogance.

When he saw Zhao Lu, his heart was excited and his hands were itchy. He hurriedly introduced to the master: "This is my friend! That girl Lin Hongyu is also familiar with him!"

"What the hell, that girl, that girl, you have to call me auntie!" The old master grabbed the ruler and was about to hit someone, but his trembling appearance was not as lively as that of a young man.

Lin Yu flew out from behind the console with just a few clicks, not forgetting to show off his coolness when he landed.

However, before his hair was lifted up, a newly made exquisite ball clattered down on his back, and then the boy in front of him let out a muffled groan. After Zhao Lu said hello to the old master, he hurriedly asked: "Are you okay?"

There was a moment of hesitation in my heart. I didn't know if I could be a good partner with such a lively temperament.

When an outsider comes, no matter how strict the master is, he still has to give his disciple some respect. Lin Yu knows this well.

He swaggeringly ignored the master's look and dragged Zhao Lu into the backyard. He still remembered the exquisite scooter and couldn't help but make Zhao Lu a confidant. "I heard that you redeemed yourself and went to the Imperial Hospital. Why didn't you go to the Ministry of Works?"

This is a characteristic of young people who have high ambitions and low abilities, as if they can choose from six movies in front of them.Zhao Lu didn't expose his bullshit, he just nodded and said she would go wherever she was wanted, otherwise she would just be idle.

Then he said: "The work I asked you to do was of great help. Did Xiaohong tell you?"

"Her? She's busy marrying her husband, and I haven't seen her for a long time!" Lin Yu brought a cup of ginger and rice tea, and his hospitality was very considerate, which made Zhao Lu feel at ease.

People with good etiquette love respectability to some extent, and considering the relationship between Xiaohong and Lin Zhixiao, Zhao Lu gave this decent person five points of trust.

However, the next second, the decent man said indifferently: "But are you looking for a new job for me? Then you have found the right person, I can do it!"

The decent man beat his chest loudly.

"Xiao Hong's marriage? Has the date been decided?" Zhao Lu took a sip of tea and chatted a few words, tying up the unfamiliar relationship between the two.

Lin Yu hid his smile and said that he didn't know clearly, but if it was decided, he would naturally inform them, and then changed the subject and asked: "You...are you okay lately?"

Zhao Lu nodded and said, "I'm just busier than before, so don't mind if I come unexpectedly."

As he spoke, he placed a bag of scented tea that he carried with him on the table, and his expression became serious, "Speaking of which, I also have a favor to ask you for this time."

"If you ask Miss Zhao about carpentry, I'll learn it now and make it clear to you!" Lin Yu's voice was firm, and his not-so-generous figure sat steadily opposite, already possessing the determination to take charge of his own business.

I think I am ready to start my own business at any time.

Zhao Lu followed the voice and forgot about it, and happened to meet those eyes that were listening with curiosity and resolute determination.Speaking of it, I should be much older than him, so I took the initiative to smile and relaxed the atmosphere. My master is still outside, so don't let yourself go out and start a fight again.

That's a sin.

"It's carpentry, but it's not carpentry. Do you have paper and pen here?" She thought over and over again all night and the prototype of the bicycle fell on the paper. She thought that the most difficult thing to do was the gear. Who knew that three days later Lin Yu told her that the most difficult thing to do was It's the tires.

Zhao Lu got off duty from the Imperial Hospital and went straight to the carpenter's shop on Xicao Street. Lin Yu spent the past two days rubbing wood in the shop when he had nothing to do. The old master liked him a lot, and he was very kind to Zhao Lu.

He even nodded and said hello with a smile, which made Zhao Lu feel flattered.

She never dared to think that a serious face with crisscrossed grooves would smile so full of joy. Before she could even exchange a few words, Lin Yu dragged him into the backyard again.

Go straight.

"As you said, if people sit on it and drive it, then the shock absorption of the wheels will not be as strong as the unloading force of cattle, horses and livestock. It will definitely be bumpy and difficult to move forward." Lin Yu rubbed his chin in front of the drawing and said, "If it is driven by animal skins, Wrapping it with cloth and making it look like the sole of a shoe might make you feel better."

They all began to think about tires, that is, these parts can be made. Thinking of the foreigners riding horses on the street, Zhao Lu was shocked, okay, okay, let's use the power of your industrial revolution.

"It doesn't matter, I've thought about this issue too, and I can just put it up there." At this time, the rubber is probably still hanging monkeys in South America. Yunnan is also a vast country with few people, and I haven't heard of any traces of rubber trees. The new stars of the industrial age have not yet come to shine.

Lin Yu slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I think so too!" Then he smiled flatteringly at Yunzhu and said flatteringly: "My mother has poor eyesight and hasn't done needlework for several years. This matter... look……"

"I'll come to you in three days." Zhao Lu quickly agreed and threw down another purse, "Here's the deposit!"

Lin Yu was overjoyed, what is the purpose of being an apprentice?It’s to make money!The master has always said that he is not good at learning and can only make a table or bench, but he cannot even make a canopy bed, so he should practice again.

It's good now, he can already rely on his craftsmanship to make a living!
But as soon as he opened his purse and looked at the glistening ingot of silver, Lin Yu couldn't help but stammered, "Is this... is it too much? Most of it is made of fir and locust wood, which is not valuable."

Isn't this little girl a fool? She can't even count the money?
"Don't worry, this is the deposit, and you have to sign the contract." As she said that, she took out a bunch of contracts with Lin Zhixiao's seal from her backpack. She didn't believe that no one was interested in the pearl of the industrial revolution.

If Lin Zhixiao, a very important intermediary, is brought in to talk about the scandal in the first place, the follow-up matters will be easier to handle.
