The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Jia Jue followed the mandarin ducks to the hall on the other side. Seeing this, he was dazzled, as if he had come to the daughter's country.

"Jia Jue, I have met my grandmother, mother, eldest wife, aunt, and sisters-in-law and sisters." He came to the hall and saluted the girls.

The eyes of all the girls were also focused on him, and many eyes were mixed with curiosity, exploration, amazement, love, etc.

"Okay, okay." Mother Jia looked at Jia Jue and smiled, her eyes kind.

In terms of personal feelings, Jia Baoyu is unparalleled in her heart, but from the point of view of the ancestors of the Jia family, she undoubtedly appreciates Jia Jue.

If the Jia family can have a few more talents like Jia Jue, the He Chou family will not be happy.

"Brother Jue, it's all thanks to you this time, otherwise the manor will lose its dignity, and you've made a great contribution." She said with a smile.

Jia Jue smiled lightly: "My grandmother is too famous, and I am also a member of the Jia family. It is my duty to maintain the honor of the family. How can I say credit."

As she said this, the smile on Mother Jia's face became more and more intense. Jia Jue's words were very appealing to her and made her listen to it comfortably.

"That's what you're saying, it's a rule to be rewarded for merit, and punished for deeds. This is the rule. Our family has a big business, but we can't break the rules. Therefore, merit should be rewarded!" She asked with a smile, "Brother Jue Can you ask for anything? But it's okay to say it."

When the girls heard this, they looked at Jia Jue curiously. They all wanted to hear what Jia Jue wanted.

Jia Jue shook his head and chuckled: "Grandmother, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but I really can't think of what I'm missing. If you really want to talk about it, why don't you give the sisters a few more months."

puff.

The girls covered their mouths and laughed when they heard the words. They didn't expect Jia Jue to say such a thing, but the eyes they looked at Jia Jue became a lot closer.

"You can be a good person." Mother Jia laughed angrily and asked the girls, "Brother Jue wants to give you a monthly increase, would you like it?"

All the girls shook their heads with a smile.

"See? Let's change it." Mother Jia said to Jia Jue again.

Jia Jue spread out his hands: "Grandmother, there really isn't any."

In fact, it wasn't that Jia Jue really had no need, but that there was a person in the middle—Mrs. Wang.

As his "mother", she has the right to take everything from him, so no matter what he asks from Jia Mu, Madam Wang has a way to take it away from him.

Because in this era, filial piety is heaven, and this "filial piety" covers all things, one of which is: those who are sons must not accumulate private wealth.The salary and the place where the farm and house are entered, all return to the parents.When you use it, please use it. You don’t dare to leave it privately, and you don’t dare to take it privately.

A person who "doesn't have to accumulate private wealth" can hold him tightly.

But he also has his solution, which is to let Jia Mu take the initiative to reward him.

Madam Wang could use her identity to oppress Jia Jue, and Mother Jia could also use her identity to oppress her. Madam Wang would definitely not dare to tamper with the things that Mother Jia rewarded.

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Jue and said, "Since you don't say it, then I will."

She thought about it and asked, "How many girls are there in your courtyard?"

"Only Qing'er." Jia Jue replied.

"Just one person?" Mother Jia was taken aback.

Jia’s house has a strict hierarchy, and the servants around each son and young lady have a standard configuration: a wet nurse, four tutors, two maids who are in charge of hairpins and baths, and five or six general servants. maid.

Jia Jue nodded: "Yes."

Mother Jia glanced at Madam Wang lightly, her expression a little unpleasant.Jia Jue's situation must have come from Madam Wang's hands. She doesn't care whether Madam Wang likes Jia Jue or not, and whether she is against Jia Jue, but her blatant violation of Jia's rules is a provocation to her.

If this matter spreads outside, the name of "doing things unfairly" will not escape. If there is such a poisonous mouth, saying that she "treats her children and grandchildren harshly", it will really make her angry.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang's face turned cold, but she didn't say a word, and the atmosphere between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not harmonious.

"What kind of messenger is Qing'er?" Mother Jia asked again.

Wang Xifeng replied quickly: "Back to the old lady, Qing'er is a rough servant girl."

Jia's house has a strict hierarchy, and the maids are also graded. The first class is also called the big maid. For example, the mandarin ducks beside Jia's mother, and the Ping'er beside Wang Xifeng.

The maid has great power and can almost represent the master to some extent.Under the big maid, there are second-class maids, such as Qingwen, Sheyue, Qiuwen, etc. in the original work. They are mainly responsible for serving the master's daily life, undressing, washing and bathing, serving tea and pouring water, Waking up at night to wait and so on, and treating the girls below them also have the right to teach them a lesson.

As for the bottom tier, there are rough maids. They do the dirtiest and most tiring work and hold the most meager monthly bills.They don't have any rights, and it is even difficult for them to even see the master's face, because they are not qualified to enter the master's house.

Mother Jia snorted coldly, and there was some dissatisfaction in her voice. Although she was indifferent to Jia Jue, she never thought to treat him like this. There are such reasons.

"Mentioned Qing'er as a second-class maid, and also allocated a few rough maids and wives to Brother Jue." She said to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng responded quickly.

Mother Jia thought for a while, and then said to Yuanyang: "A second-class maid from me will be given to him. Who do you think is suitable?"

Yuanyang thought for a while and said, "Mother Lai honored a girl a few days ago. She looks smart, and her hands and feet are quite agile, so it shouldn't be bad if you think about it."

Mother Jia nodded when she heard the words: "You mean Qingwen? Well, it's also appropriate, then assign her to Brother Jue."

The conversation between the two made Jia Jue stunned, Qingwen?No way?

Qingwen, Jinling's Twelve Hairpins and the number one in the second volume, is one of the four maids in Jia Baoyu's room in the original book. She is graceful and dexterous, her eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Lin Daiyu's, her articulation is articulate, and she is particularly good at needlework. Jia Baoyu likes it.

After her death, Jia Baoyu even wrote an essay "Furong's Daughter" to express her condolences.

By the way, in the setting of Red Mansion, there are a total of 36 most outstanding women, and their names are recorded in the three booklets of the fairy world, the most famous is the book of the twelve hairpins of Jinling, which records The women are all noble women, such as Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Li Wan, etc.

The supplementary volume of the Jinling Twelve Hairpins records some women with slightly lower identities, such as Xiangling, Second Sister You, Third Sister You and so on.

The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling also have a supplementary volume, which records some women with low status but very outstanding, such as Qingwen, who is attacking people.

Jia Jue did not expect that Qingwen would become his maid.

Jia Baoyu, sorry, I dug your corner.
