Let's form a team in the Red Mansion

Fanghua whispered a few words in her ear, Ziwei nodded, looked at her dress in the mirror, and took Fanghua to find Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was playing Jiulianhuan with Baoyu. When she saw Ziwei coming, she moved to the side and said with a smile, "Second sister is here."

Ziwei poked her head and looked, thinking what a coincidence, she glanced at Fanghua next to her.Fanghua also breathed a sigh of relief. At that time, she deliberately chose something that Lin Daiyu liked to play with, just thinking that it could be used by Baoyu.

Baoyu proudly said: "Look, Second Sister, this is the Nine Chains that Sister Lin just untied."

Ziwei smiled and said: "Oh, it's really amazing, I feel dizzy just looking at it."

Lin Daiyu put the thing on the table and said, "I've been working on this shit all afternoon, and my eyes are going to get dizzy."

Fanghua said intentionally: "Miss Lin is so smart, it will take an afternoon to solve this, don't disturb Miss Lin with the second master Bao at the side."

Baoyu said unhappily: "What do you know, little girl? This thing is so difficult to solve. Many people can't solve it after spending their entire lives."

Fanghua expressed disbelief: "Is it really so difficult? I saw a little baby who was about the same age as Miss Lin, and it took less than a stick of incense to untie it."

Not only Baoyu, but also Lin Daiyu was a little surprised: "There are indeed capable people around my father who can untangle Jiulianhuan, but they are the fastest, and they want two sticks of incense. What you said, is it true?"

Fanghua nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true. What did the servant lie to the girl for? It's such a tall little boy. I remember, they said, oh yes, he is the young master of Uncle Ning's family on West Street."

Baoyu said: "I have an impression of this. I have seen it several times at my mother's place. Is it called Brother Xuan?"

"This, I don't remember." Fanghua scratched her head.

"Then you can see what kind of Nine Chains he solved?" Daiyu asked curiously.

"This, I don't understand." Fanghua continued to scratch her head.

"Then, you know the color and material of the Nine Links, right?" Baoyu asked.

"This, this servant doesn't remember." Fanghua's voice became lower and lower.

Baoyu proudly said: "Cut, let me just say, you little girl is a liar! How can there be a child smarter than Sister Lin!"

Fanghua looked at Ziwei aggrievedly: "Girl, what you say is true."

"I haven't seen it, so what's the use of my talking." Ziwei shook her head.

But Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a while: "A stick of incense is not impossible. Those people around my father are not specialized in playing Jiulianhuan. If they have studied it since childhood, it is possible to solve it in a stick of incense." .”

Fanghua breathed a sigh of relief seeing Daiyu's heart fell on her.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two jades to quarrel over the topic of "can a stick of incense unravel the Nine Links?" In the end, Baoyu said that he would go to that brother Xuan and ask him to solve it in front of her. try.

After returning to the courtyard, Ziwei had the opportunity to ask: "Your younger brother, can you really untie Jiulianhuan so quickly?"

Fanghua showed a confident smile: "I dare not say anything else, but I can guarantee this."

What her younger brother likes to play most is the Nine Links Rubik's Cube, which tests the brain. He studies various solutions all day long, and constantly challenges his limit time.

As a result, Baoyu left in good spirits and came back disappointed. Jia Xuan was ill, and no one in his family dared to let Baoyu approach him.

Hearing the news, Fanghua's legs went limp and she almost collapsed on the ground.

Sick, why are you sick?

Whether it's a real illness or a fake illness, you won't get sick, just go away!

Ziwei held Fanghua's hand and said in a low voice: "I know you are worried about him, but don't let others see it, I just looked at you twice when playing chess."

Fanghua lowered her head, her eyes were red: "Just look at it, if something happens to my brother, I won't live anymore. It doesn't matter if the chess player wants to beat me, scold me, or kick me out. I don't care if I burn it down."

"Hey, you." Ziwei sighed, "Don't be like this, maybe nothing happened. Now the weather is so cold in the morning and evening, and he is the age that loves to get sick, maybe he is really sick."

Fanghua sobbed: "My younger brother is in good health. He never liked to be sick since he was a child."

"He, isn't he wearing it? His body is different." Ziwei lowered her voice and wiped Fanghua's tears with a handkerchief, "Don't cry anymore, I want to cry too. I don't know what's wrong with my mother now, she's still sick..."

The two couldn't help but hugged each other and started crying, so startled that the two big maids outside ran in.

"What's the matter, girl?" Xiuju said in shock.

"It must be your little hoof, what you said made the girl angry. I think something is wrong with you today, and you are crying all day long, who can show it to you!" Siqi grabbed Fanghua, and Liu Mei angrily scolded.

Seeing the two of them holding on to Fanghua, Ziwei couldn't help but patted the table: "Okay! Shut up!"

This was probably the first time they saw their master get angry, and they were stunned for a moment.

Fanghua looked at Ziwei sobbing, Ziwei raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and took a deep breath.

"What is my status in this family? I won't tell you, but you know. You can follow me so faithfully, take care of me, get close to me, and care about me. I am grateful to you. Siqi, listen to me. "Ziwei raised her hand, and Siqi had no choice but to shut her mouth, "You are maidservants, I am a young lady, you may find it ridiculous when I say these words. But, I really think so. In this world, nothing good is taken for granted. I am lucky to have you by my side. Therefore, I can no longer watch you fight in the nest.

Our situation is already difficult enough.Master in the house, who else is more neglected than me?If this continues, what will we become? Have you ever thought about it?Siqi, Xiuju, what are you going to do in the future?After the Chinese New Year, I will be 13 years old, and I will get married in a few years.But my biological mother has passed away, my father is that kind of person, and my mother obeys him in everything.In front of the old lady, it was Sister Lin first, then the third sister, then the fourth sister, and finally it was my turn.Moreover, marriage matters have always been ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How much can the old lady be in charge of?

You two, just stare at Fanghua now, fearing that she will steal your position as the maid.But have you ever thought that your status is really that important?Maybe, when you get married in the future, you can really say that you are a good family. I won't stop you from fighting for the limelight.Anyway, as my master, you are unreliable. I can't even decide my own life, let alone help you find a good way out. "

Ziwei paused for a while, allowing Si Qi and the two to digest what she just said before continuing: "Aren't you wondering why I have been relying on Fanghua so much recently?"

Fanghua was still listening in a daze, wondering why Ziwei would say these things, it doesn't fit Jia Yingchun's setting, isn't she afraid of revealing her secrets?Hearing that Ziwei mentioned herself, she became nervous, not knowing what she was planning.

"Because you two are too close to my age, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the fate of marrying with me. You have treated me well, and I have kept it in my heart all these years. I can't just watch you two follow me into the fire pit Jump. In a few years, I will find a way to release the two of you, whether it's a match or an errand, anyway, you can't suffer with me anymore."

Siqi was in a hurry: "Miss, what are you talking about! Is Siqi the kind of ungrateful person!"

Xiuju also persuaded: "Young lady is the serious master of Jia's mansion after all. You say it as if no one wants or cares! Even if the wife doesn't care, the old lady will find a good job for you. Well, what do you think now?" Don't you scare yourself with these?"

There was a touch of bitterness in Ziwei's smile: "Silly girl, you also said that I am the serious master of Jia's mansion, no matter how boring I am, I still have my own sources of information. It may not be without reason. Now that I know, I will We need to plan in advance. Even if I can’t keep myself, I still want to keep you two, and it’s not in vain that you’ve been with me all these years. But the most important thing now is that we can’t become a mess and let people outside see it as a joke.”

Ziwei pulled Fanghua close and touched her face: "Fanghua, you too, I know you often miss your family members who are not around you, but you can't make yourself a prison because of this. The people in this yard, but They are all your good sisters!"

Fanghua blinked, tears fell again: "Girl."

Siqi reluctantly took his handkerchief and wiped Fanghua's tears: "It's alright, alright, I really didn't realize that you girl loves to cry so much!"

Xiuju lowered her head, thought for a while, and said: "Girl, what you said made us more and more confused. If you are going to be reduced to the point where you can't protect yourself, then we who are maids, don't change your mind." Is there no hope? A family like the Jia family won’t find you a poor family, aren’t you thinking too pessimistically?”

Fanghua whispered: "Do you know that the daughter's family outside, at the girl's age, even if the parents didn't choose someone else, they started to prepare the dowry and taught her housekeeping. 13 years old, said to be young, but good-looking My family, it will take a year or two. It will take a year or two to find out the details of the family. It will take nearly a year for the matchmaker to come up to propose marriage. Half a year. We can stay in Jia's house for a lifetime, but the girl is not sure, shouldn't she make plans for herself early?"

Siqi frowned and glanced at her: "You little girl, what do you know!"

"If I don't understand, why does the girl keep talking to me these days. I know that Siqi and sister Xiuju's family are here, and you don't want to leave Jia's house. I'm different. What does my grandma look like?" , you all know. My parents are gone, and I have no brothers or sisters, so it doesn’t make sense for me to stay here. No matter what kind of family the girl marries, I’m willing to go with her.”

"What are you talking about? It seems like I'm going to abandon the girl!" Siqi said unhappily, and turned to Ziwei and said, "Girl, you too, why didn't you say what you said earlier, so that I can help the girl to find out more. Isn't it better to inquire about it than to think about it alone here?"

Seeing that these two people accepted Ziwei's "scaremongering" smoothly, Fanghua was relieved.Madonna Flower's mind is really not covered, she can be coaxed into submission by Qianlong, not to mention the two little maids who are no more than [-] or [-] years old.
