The Red Mansions

Chapter 14

Xiren blushed and ran away as if fleeing, Jia Yun looked at her back and laughed.

This girl is indeed the maid carefully selected by Jia's mother for Jia Baoyu. Not only is she beautiful, but even when she loses her temper, she has a feminine charm, which is memorable.

"It's also courageous, dare to come out alone at night!" Jia Yun thought.

However, when I think that the surrounding area is the territory of the Jia family, I feel that it is nothing. If something really happened to the attackers, as long as I yell, the people living around me are all the people of the Jia family. foot.

It's another matter, Jia Yun was a little puzzled, did Jia Baoyu and the others go out to play, didn't they tell their family where they were going?

On the other side, Xiren ran to a corner, stopped suddenly, leaned against the wall, blushed up to her ears, she was panting delicately, her heart was beating non-stop.

"What a bad bastard!" Xiren gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

Thinking of Jia Yun's unscrupulous gaze and that pretty egg face, Xiren was terribly flustered.

A few days ago, she went to Jia Yun's house to deliver something. She just took one look at Jia Yun and blushed. She was so ashamed for no reason, so she left immediately.

"I shouldn't have come here today!" Xiren pressed his chest and took a deep breath.

Originally, when she came out to look for Jia Baoyu, she could order the servants or maids to do whatever she wanted, but she didn't know what to think before, so she took the initiative to ask Ying, and told Mrs. Wang that she would come by herself, but she suffered a lot when she arrived.

"Still pretending to be confused with me, really shameless!" Thinking of Jia Yun's nonchalant appearance, Xi Ren felt very angry. If there were not so many people at that time, she would definitely scold Jia Yun.

"He bumped into my arms." Xiren gritted his teeth, his eyes were confused, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It took a long time for Xi to calm down, but for some reason, her face was burning hot, burning, and she was indescribably shy.

Walking on the street back to Jia's Mansion, Xi was in a trance, but when she arrived at Ningrong Street, she regained consciousness.

She patted her hot cheeks with both hands, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked towards Jia's mansion.

Jia Yun stood on the bench, looking at the Taoist priest who was waving a wooden sword and chanting mantras, and found it very interesting.

When he was in the countryside in his previous life, he had seen many Taoist performances, but it was much simpler than this time.

After watching with relish for a while, Jia Yun twisted her neck, and suddenly saw Jia Qin walking down the alley dejectedly.

Jia Yun jumped off the bench, came to the ground, stepped forward and asked, "Brother Qin, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Jia Qin twitched the corners of her mouth and asked doubtfully, "Have you eaten?"

"Of course I ate it. How can there be a reason why the cook is hungry? I ate it when I was cooking. God, I thought you were eating with them, so I didn't call you." Jia Yun shook her head and said.

"Hehe." Jia Qin gave a dry laugh, and then said with a wry smile, "How can I have the right to eat at the same table as them?"

Jia Yun sighed, and persuaded: "Brother Qin, it's their family banquet, it's better not to go in such a situation in the future, so as not to make people feel disgusted!"

Jia Qin glanced at Jia Yun, shook her head and said, "You don't understand, our three families are poor, and only by following them can we eat well and drink spicy food."

Seeing that he insisted on this, Jia Yun stopped trying to persuade him, and changed the subject: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight, and there will probably be a night of trouble."

Jia Qin nodded and said, "Fortunately, the burial is tomorrow. If there is more trouble for a few days, people will go crazy."

Jia Yun smiled and said: "Tomorrow is an auspicious day, and besides, the weather is not good if it is left for a long time. Also, our house is already poor, so we don't have so much money to waste time."

"That's the reason. If someone passed away in the big room, it would take at least ten and a half months of excitement before giving up." Jia Qin nodded.

Jia Yun shook her head and said: "Ten days and a half months have passed? At least one month is the bottom line. They have this condition over there, and they are well-known old nobles. It's really shabby, and they can't hold back their face. "

Jia Qin exclaimed: "No way, how much money will it cost if it really takes so long?"

"I don't know how much money it will cost. Anyway, the sea is gone. If you think about it, just throwing a family banquet at the Rongguo Mansion during the festival will cost enough money for us to eat for a long time." Jia Yun smiled. Said.

Jia Qin had a look of envy in his eyes, and he sighed: "It's true that people are more popular than people. You said that they are all from the Jia family. Why is there such a big gap?"

……

Jiang Yunxuan.

Xiren put the drunk Jia Baoyu to sleep, walked slowly to the outside room, sat on a chair and was in a daze.

Qingwen, who was doing needlework nearby, looked up at Xiren from time to time, feeling a little puzzled:

"What's wrong with Sister Xiren today? She's so out of her mind, she's never been like this before!"

In front of the orange lights, Xiren propped his cheeks with his hands, frowning, smirking, and angry, with an indescribably weird expression.

"Could it be bewitched?" Qingwen tilted her head thinking.

After thinking about it, she put down her needlework, stepped forward lightly, and patted Xiren's shoulder lightly.

Xiren woke up suddenly, with an ah, he jumped up, startled Qingwen behind him, screamed, and stepped back a few steps before stopping, his face pale.

Xiren turned his head and saw that it was Qingwen, he couldn't help but glared at her, and said angrily, "I'm scared to death!"

"You still talk about me, I haven't said that you scared me, I was almost scared out of my mind just now!" Qingwen patted her chest, took a few deep breaths, and started talking with a small mouth.

Xiren swallowed, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you filming me when you have nothing to do? Do you know that people are scary, scaring to death?"

Qingwen knew that she was wrong, so she smiled, stepped forward slowly, looked Xiren up and down, and said curiously: "Sister Xiren, what were you thinking just now, your face is flushed, you are really charming!"

Xiren's eyes flickered, he bit his lip, snorted, and said, "What did you think? ?”

"Really?" Qingwen was full of doubts. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No, it's very wrong. Sister Xiren must have something to hide. What’s on your mind! Yes, that’s how it is!”

Xiren had come to her senses at this moment, and her mood had stabilized. She smiled, gave Qingwen a white look, and said with a pursed mouth: "You are smart, don't you always have an upright temper, and you know how to read people's thoughts?" gone?"

Qingwen squinted her eyes, and said angrily: "Did you underestimate people? I, Qingwen, have a bit of a temper, but it doesn't mean I'm stupid. You know, looking at people's faces is the basic skill for us to be maids!"

"Hehe, you said you were fat and still panting?" Xiren squinted at her and asked, "Then tell me, I was in a daze just now, what was I thinking?"

Qingwen was stunned, stomped her foot and said, "I don't know what you're thinking, I'm not the roundworm in your stomach!"

Xiren smiled and said: "Then you said just now that looking at people's faces is the basic skill for us to be a maid. What does this mean? It means that you haven't practiced well yet, and you haven't mastered the basic skills!"

"Hmph, you're making unreasonable words and making nonsense, how can you know what other people think by looking at their faces?" Qingwen said with her mouth pursed.

Xiren spread his hands and said with a smile: "Look, you are the one who said good things, and you are the one who said bad things. I let you say it. What else can I say? Once I said it, you falsely accused me of messing around. I am too wronged." Already!"

Qingwen took a few deep breaths, knowing that although she had a few brushes, Xiren was not easy to get along with, so she hummed a few times, stopped arguing, and turned back to do her needlework.

……

In the early morning, Jia Yun still pushed the car out and came to Ningrong Street.

Now he is quite famous in this street, and many people will never forget his buns after eating them, and these people have become Jia Yun's stable source of customers.

Because of this, Jia Yun's steamed buns are not enough to sell every day, but he still maintains a daily quantity of 1000 to [-] steamed buns in fifteen baskets.

In this way, although the money is less, people are much more relaxed.

"Huh? Why did you come out to pick up the buns today?" Jia Yun asked in surprise when she saw Xiren at dawn.

These days Jia Baoyu would send Mingyan out to buy steamed buns every morning, no matter how late Jia Yun would leave ten of them there, unexpectedly today Mingyan didn't come, but Xiren did.

Xiren blushed, and said angrily, "Why are you asking so many questions, bring the buns, I'm in a hurry to go back!"
