The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 495 Aunt Ping'er and the girls
The suburbs of Bukui are lush and full of vitality.

At a glance, there is a vast expanse of plains in the distance.

As far as the eye can see, tall trees and clusters of low bushes can be seen here and there.

Among these trees, there are more open flat lands.There is green grass everywhere.Countless flowers are in full bloom under the sunshine of early summer.

Although it is still far away, it seems that you can smell the fragrance of flowers everywhere.

In the middle of these greenery, these houses are mixed, and around each house, there are some slightly exposed places, which are patches of farmland.

Chen Yejun, Ping'er, Shen Bingyi, Jia Qiang, Gu Panpan, etc. were standing outside the gate of Bukuinan, waiting to welcome Baoyu and the girls from the residence.

It is the first moment of Shen Shi, and according to Jia Qiang, they will arrive soon.

Although Jia Lian's letter had been received, the letter did not mention much about why the girls came here.

Asked Jia Qiang, Jia Qiang only said that this is what the ancestors meant.However, what Jia Lian said in the letter is quite clear, that is, the girls can live in Bukui as long as they want.If you want, you can go to Beihai in the future and stay with Jia Min.

As for when the girls will go back in the future, Jia Min will decide.

This information made Chen Yejun and Heping'er faintly feel that this was a deliberate arrangement of the ancestors.They have a feeling that the mansion seems to be no longer suitable for girls to stay.

Especially Ping'er, who already knew the affairs of the Jia Mansion very well.These years of wandering outside, the experience is even more incomparable with when he was in Jia's mansion.

She made a judgment in her heart, that is, if the girls came this time, they would not go back again, and they would probably stay in Beihai in the future.

The old ancestor always liked to be lively, and he loved the girls very much. He wished that the girls and Baoyu were in front of him every day.

This time they were all allowed to come out, something big must happen in the mansion.

However, these are all things to come. What needs to be done now is to settle down the girls first.

Shen Bingyi is not familiar with the mansion, he is currently in charge of affairs in Bu Kui, and these people are all here for Jia Min.Now as Jia Min's concubine, she has to decide these matters.

Ping'er was very happy that these people came to Bukui.Therefore, I am very concerned about receiving them.

In the distance, a train team came.Chen Yejun, Heping'er and others went up to meet him.

Once you walk in, you can see clearly.

The riders in the front are Baoyu, Xue Pan, Jia Yun, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion Wang Shanbao, and a monk with a scarlet head.

This scarlet-headed monk was the one who often talked about scriptures and Dharma together with Baoyu in the meditation hall.

Previously, Monk Raitou also appeared in Jia's mansion, and Ping'er knew him too.

There are also several men on horseback, servants of the mansion, following behind the convoy.

The rest are the carriages for the women's relatives.

In the first car, it was Shi Xiangyun and a maid.

The second car is Tana and the servant girl Xiren, Bihen, Sheyue, and Qiuwen.

In the third car, Tanchun was sitting in front, followed by her servant girls Shihua, Cuimo, and Xiaochan.

In the fourth car, Yingchun sat in front, followed by maids Caifeng, Caiyun and Caixia.

In the fifth car, Xichun sat in front, followed by maids playing chess, Ruhua, Caiping, and Caier.

In the sixth year, the car was Xing Xiuyan, also with two maids.

The person in the seventh car, whom Ping'er had met once or twice when she was in the mansion, was Third Sister You.

The remaining five or six cars are old mothers.

When they met each other, those who dismounted got off their horses, those who stopped stopped, and exchanged pleasantries on the way.

Everyone in the house knew Ping'er, but Xing Xiuyan and Ping'er had never met, and Third Sister You didn't know Ping'er very well.

However, whether they were at home or on the road, they all knew that Ping'er would receive them this time, so they were still very affectionate when they met.

After walking for two months along the way, I was looking forward to arriving here as soon as possible. Now that I finally meet, I am naturally very affectionate. The stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

Chen Yejun, Shen Bingyi, Gu Panpan and others have long been known to the girls in the mansion, and the girls also know that they are here.Just never met.

So Ping'er introduced them one by one, and they were considered acquainted.

Because Tana is the princess of Yongping, Ping'er and the others are going to meet with a big gift, but Tana firmly refuses.

"Ping'er, we were acquaintances. If so, it would be too much. I was originally an ordinary woman in North Wendura. Although Chang'an recognized me as a sister, I never regarded myself as a county. Lord's."

"Etiquette is what matters after all."

"I've always regarded you as my sisters. Now that I'm here, why bother to talk about those vain etiquettes? It's a matter of birth. You must never talk about those etiquettes in the future. Even myself, I feel awkward."

"That's right, Ping'er, don't tell your sister-in-law about these things. Even in the mansion, she and us never pay attention to these things."

Tanchun said briskly on the side.

"If you tell your sister-in-law these things again, she will get angry and won't treat you as her own."

Xichun has obviously grown a lot taller, and she is not as shy as before.

Seeing this situation, Ping'er had no choice but to give up.

After exchanging greetings for a while, he got back into the carriage and horse, and walked towards the city of Bukui.

When I entered the city, I often met some pedestrians, and I kept saying hello to them and saying hello to them warmly.

Prior to this, many people in the city had heard that the girls from Jia Min's mansion were coming, and Ping'er and the others were all celebrities of Bu Kui, so almost everyone knew them, so when they saw the girls, they were very enthusiastic .It makes the girls a little uncomfortable.

Everyone's residence is arranged in advance.

Yingchun lived in Baochai's room, Tanchun lived in Miaoyu's room, Xichun lived in Daiyu's original room, Xing Xiuyan lived in Shen Bingyi's room, and Third Sister You used to live with Gu Panpan. At the same time, Shi Xiangyun lived with Ping'er, which was Jia Min's house in Bukui.

The old lady and the servants each followed their own girls.

Baoyu and Tana were arranged in Feng Ziying's original house.

As for meals, the houses in various places have prepared rice, noodles, grains, oils, vegetables, fruits, tea, etc., and the original furniture, cooking utensils, etc. are all ready-made.

Today and tomorrow, no one needs to set up their own gangs, and all go to Ping'er for dinner.From the day after tomorrow, everyone started cooking by themselves.

This is mainly to take care of the different tastes of each girl, plus there are too many people, even if the girls can't say anything by themselves, the maids and women will all get together. After a long time, they are afraid of any conflicts, so it's better Live your own life as well.

Anyway, the girls have their own maids to take care of them, cooking, cleaning and so on, so they don't have to worry about no one.

Shi Xiangyun's family doesn't have much money. This time, the ancestors gave him the money, and he was matched with a maid, just like other girls.I'm staying here with Ping'er for the time being, if I want to go out in the future, I can go with her.If you don't want to go out, you are together.

For the expenses of each room, the girls brought their own money.

However, because it belongs to Jia Min, it is necessary to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Therefore, Ping'er and Shen Bingyi made a total calculation and decided to give each house 15 taels of silver per month for daily expenses such as food and drink.

If it is Chinese New Year holidays, additional money will be added.Even Baoyu, Xing Xiuyan, and Third Sister You all follow this standard.

Calculated in this way, it is only a hundred taels of silver every month, and a thousand taels a year.

For Jia Min, this amount of money is not a big sum at all.

Ping'er was in charge of Jia Min's money, so Ping'er was naturally in charge of this matter.

On the way, Ping'er told Tanchun and others about these things.Tanchun felt very sorry and said that he had all the money with him.

Ping'er said that when he arrived at his brother's house, he would naturally have to pay for it, so Tanchun and the others no longer refused, and happily accepted.

People from Bukui welcome people from the mainland, and those with a little level are held at Shen Bingyi and Gu Panpan.

Baochai, Daiyu, Miaoyu and others have long been used to these two places.However, considering that the girls were new to this place, I was afraid that they would not be used to it, so I held a banquet at Ping'er's house at night to welcome everyone.

I heard that the sisters of Chief Min's family are here, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun are back, and some old acquaintances from the Fubingtuan are also uninvited.

Not long after the banquet here, Zhao Dahai, Feng Kui, Xu Mingtao, and Yizhihuaqu came one after another.

They all brought presents when they came, so they introduced them one after another. While introducing them, they complained about Ping'er. They didn't inform them in advance, so they had to go outside the city to meet them.

When they saw Tana, they wanted to meet with a big gift, but Tana firmly refused.

While having a drink here, He Jialin over there also heard the news.He Jialin is the younger brother of Mrs. He, Mrs. Wang Ziteng, and can be regarded as the relatives and elders of the girls, so they met Li.

He Jialin gave gifts and asked the girls to talk about something, and then they ate wine with Chen Yejun, Baoyu, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Zhao Dahai and others.

The girls were in the mansion, drinking with their ancestors since they were young, and they have seen all kinds of big scenes.

Now after walking for more than two months, I finally arrived at Brother Min's house.They also have a good impression of Fourth Brother Min.Even though it was my first time here, I didn't feel alienated.

Ping'er is also an acquaintance of his own, and when he was in the mansion, the relationship was very good.

Seeing Ping'er's warm hospitality, and the arrangement of food and clothing expenses exceeded his expectations, he completely relaxed and drank to his heart's content.

Xing Xiuyan and Third Sister You were a little restrained at first, but after a while, they became friends with Ping'er, Shen Bingyi and Gu Panpan.

While eating wine, he talked about what he had seen in the mansion and on the road.

All of a sudden, Yingying, Yanyan, willows, green flowers and red flowers are all happy.

Needless to say, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun, Baoyu and Xue Pan had been to North Wendura and Bukui before, and although they didn't stay long, they were still acquaintances.

After drinking wine, he considers himself an old man.

Previously, Zhao Dahai and others looked down on Baoyu, but after this meeting, they felt that Baoyu was quite different from before.

As for what's different, I can't tell for a while.
