The majestic sister of the red mansion

Chapter 24 Jia's Invitation

Mo Yue felt that her family was just an ordinary family. After Lin Qiyuan left, she regained her calm. The days went by as usual. When it came to Qiqiao Festival, although she was still young, Mrs. Zhao had already prepared for her. Yue has no interest in the so-called Qixi Festival after hearing the gossip story of the Cowherd and Weaving Goddess in Yuliu version.

I just feel ironic about worshiping the gods. The gods, from the Jade Emperor to the God of the Land, who are not like ordinary people, have love, hatred, hatred, love and desire... They just have more power than ordinary people. Mo Yue is really disdainful of Qi Qiao, and on the day of Qiqiao Festival, she simply fell asleep and just couldn't get up, which made Zhao, who saw her good granddaughter throwing a temper for the first time, laugh secretly.

In this way, some time passed, during which Lin Qiyuan would write home letters every month and send them back, Shi Shi also came back several times a month to have a look, the time flashed to the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, on August [-]th, there was a The woman in charge suddenly came to Lin's house and sent a post inviting Mrs. Zhao, Brother Xi, and Mo Yue to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Mrs. Shi at Mr. Lin's mansion, and the inviter was named Mrs. Jia.

Mrs. Zhao didn't understand why Mrs. Jia posted such a post. How could she not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at her own home? Even if Mrs. Shi was given the grace of a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, Mrs. Shi should be allowed to go home instead of going to someone else's home?However, for the purpose of making friends with the Lin family, she responded with a smile in front of the woman in charge, and said that she must thank Mrs. Jia that day.

Mo Yue couldn't figure it out either, thinking to herself that Mrs. Jia sent the invitation because her father was rushing to take the exam with Master Lin, right?This is just a conjecture. In the blink of an eye, it was August [-]th. Early in the morning, Mrs. Zhao dug out clean new clothes for Lin Yuanxi and Lin Moyue to change into, together with her own combing hair and clean face. Lost temperament, after a while, the sky has already brightened.

Only then did she stop, serve the food heated by the stove, and after taking the two children to eat, she took the gift she had prepared, locked the courtyard door, rented a car and went to Mr. Lin's mansion. Mrs. Zhao was also the head of the house. Mother, someone who has taken care of servants and family affairs, knows the importance best. When someone sends a post, there is no place for him to open the front door, so as soon as he gets on the donkey cart, he asks the driver to take it to the corner gate of Linfu.

This time, when Mrs. Zhao told the coachman, he was talking about Master Lin Hailin's mansion. The absent-minded Mo Yue only thought it sounded familiar, and didn't think much about it. It can also improve the current family situation. It is best to let the mother stop being a nanny. In modern times, due to the long-term separation of husband and wife, problems are not uncommon, let alone the job of a nanny.

With his father's personality, after she helped the family get rich, would he dislike Shi Shi?She can't say for sure, she has never experienced a husband and wife family, so naturally she doesn't understand these things, the important thing is that she doesn't want to have problems between her parents in the future, and she will be caught in family fights, especially when Lin Qiyuan is about to leave for an official career Under the circumstances, would a wife who had been a nurse embarrass him.

In Mo Yue's wild thoughts, the donkey cart soon arrived at the Lin Mansion. The Lin family's mansion occupies a large area, almost occupying one side of the entire street, while there are five or six families on the opposite side. The branches stick out from the wall, and the two wooden doors of the corner door are exquisitely carved. Mo Yue doesn't understand ancient wood, and can't tell what kind of wood it is.

On the other hand, after Mrs. Zhao looked at it, she paused and walked over with the gift as if nothing had happened. Brother Xi led Mo Yue to follow, and the three of them adjusted their clothes and straightened their wrinkles when they arrived at the door. He went forward and knocked on the door. This big family has a dedicated doorkeeper, and the corner door connected to the inner courtyard has its own lady guarding it. After knocking twice, I heard the echo from inside.

There was a sound of slightly clumsy footsteps, and the corner door was opened. It was the first time for Mo Yue to come to this kind of ancient rich family, and she was curious about everything. Anyway, she was wearing a child's shell, and she was not afraid of being laughed at, so she opened her eyes innocently. With big eyes, she carefully looked at the legendary gatekeeper woman: about thirty years old, with a slightly larger face, wheat complexion, and taller than Jiangnan women.

It is similar to modern northern women, with steady breathing, grand eyes, and the faint sound of her quiet heartbeat, which is not like that of ordinary middle-aged women!Powerful and continuous, dressed in commoner clothes, it makes people feel that it is not easy to stand there, with a bit of aura, but after looking at the three members of the Zhao family, the aura is immediately withdrawn.

Mo Yue pursed her lips, thinking that this person really doesn't look like an ordinary servant, even a gatekeeper in the Lin family is like this, it's really not easy, thinking about that day at the pier, seeing Master Lin and Mrs Jia who were extraordinary people Mo Yue lowered her head a little uneasy, but the woman asked in a businesslike manner, "Who are you looking for?"

"What's the name of this girl, little lady Zhao, this is not the last time I got the grace of my wife to bring the child to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with my daughter-in-law." Zhao smiled and handed over the post as usual.

The lady guarding the door took a look at the post, took it immediately, opened it for a while, then let the three of Mrs. Zhao enter the door sideways, and said with a smile: "So it's Mrs. Shi's family, the little Mrs. Liu, you can call the little Mrs. Liu." That's it, please come in quickly." After speaking, he shouted to the doorman at the corner door: "Xiao Lan, Aunt Zhao is here, come out quickly."

"Hey! Here we come." There was a sharp response from the porter, and there were a few thumps, and a little girl of about fourteen or five years old, with a slightly plump figure, trotted out, first took the post in Mrs. Liu's hand, and then smiled at Mrs. Zhao With a slight bow: "It's Aunt Zhao! The servant girl is the rough envoy in the young master's courtyard. You can just call me Xiaolan, please, please come here, Auntie. Xiaolan was ordered by Nanny Shi yesterday, and she will come this morning." Let's take you to Nanny Shi's room now!"

Mrs. Zhao nodded decently, first handed a large amount of money to the concierge and Xiaolan, and then said: "Thank you, sister Liu and Miss Xiaolan, this is really troublesome for you two."

"I can't do it, I can't do it, it's all part of my job, how dare I ask for your reward!" Although Mrs. Liu refused, she held on tightly to the money in her hand. Only Mo Yue saw her seemingly happy eyes There was no trace of excitement.

On the contrary, Xiaolan took the big money neatly, put it in her sleeve pocket, and said with a smile: "Grandma Liu, when Xiaolan came over, Nanny Shi could say that the aunt is the most straightforward person, and she doesn't like those vain ones, so the aunt will reward you with money." The bizi will accept it, and you, Granny Liu, don't refuse."

"Since Xiaolan said so, the mother-in-law has the cheek to accept it. Would Aunt Zhao go to the concierge for a cup of tea?" Make way to the house.

Mrs. Zhao knew that it was because of being polite, and she knew that her daughter-in-law was doing well in the mansion from the sight of the situation, but she was uneasy about the invitation!So I shook my head: "Thank you sister Liu for your kindness, but my two grandsons and granddaughters are looking forward to seeing the child's mother!"

"Mammy thinks about it every day too! Madam, please." Xiaolan answered quickly, and led the way sideways, but after leaving the corner gate, she said: "Madam, Madam Shi accompanied the young master to pay his respects to Madam. , would you like to go to the nanny's room to rest first?"

If you really need to rest your feet, you can take it directly, do you still need to ask?Mo Yue murmured in her heart that Mrs. Zhao had made sure of her position long before she came here. Since she arrived in Suzhou, she had no plans to keep such things as strength of character, airs, and style: "There is no need to rest, since you are here at Master Lin's house , it is appropriate to go to see your wife first."

"Hehe, no wonder Mammy always said that you are a comprehensive and meticulous person, so I will take you to the madam's yard to wait. This Mid-Autumn Festival, madam is very busy, I don't know if I have time..." Xiaolan is talkative, she doesn't make mistakes in terms of general rules, and she keeps her words modest.

Brother Xi was attracted by the halls, pavilions, rockeries, streams, and green tiles in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion. As the only nanny of the young master in the mansion, the madam was afraid of wronging her son, so the food and clothing for Shi Shi was different, which was higher than that of the young lady's nanny Wang Momo.

Mrs. Shi is a talented woman, she is not the kind of rough person who does not know big characters, she is also pure and clean, she takes care of the young master very carefully, regardless of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, she puts the child's benefit first, gradually gaining the trust of the wife, and also He specially assigned two rough envoys to serve her so that she could concentrate on taking care of the young master, and Xiaolan was assigned to Shi Shi's rough envoys.

These words shocked Mo Yue a little. To her, she was just an ordinary mother, but it was so difficult in this deep house and compound?A group of four people had their own thoughts, walked through the corridors and pavilions, but it took a long time to walk for a cup of tea, and they also met maids and servants in twos and threes, before they walked to the front of the main courtyard. What does the main house look like, and the courtyard decorations along the way are no strangers.

It has the taste of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is indeed much better than the brick and mud tile houses in her small courtyard and neighbors, but she is not new. In modern times, there are many more exquisite and grand than this, only lacking a bit of ancient style and craftsmanship. When the four of them arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, Xiaolan restrained her words and deeds a lot, almost breathing very lightly, and whispered a few words to Mrs. Zhao.

Only then did he go to the door alone and stand in front of the maid who was dressed in a higher class than Mrs. Liu, handed over the post, said a few words in a low voice, and turned sideways to let the servant look at Mrs. Zhao, Brother Xi, and Mo Yue. The grandparents and grandchildren, the servant woman turned around and entered the courtyard gate with the post. After a while, she came out with a servant girl in a half-new silk shirt and a double-ringed bun with silver ornaments.

"Sister Fang, Aunt Zhao is so honorable that she troubled you to go there in person." Xiaolan saw the maid-looking person, she hurriedly bowed her lower body, and leaned over to talk with a smile on her face.
