Do good deeds without leaving your name

Shouxiao is poor, but it has nothing to do with Hongluan, after all, she is just a maid.

Three years passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it will be filial piety.

In the past three years, there has been a saint in the court. Although the year name has not changed, it is still the 22nd year of Zhenguan, but the court has begun to glow with a new atmosphere of another emperor ruling.

In the past three years, Hong Luan's small steamed buns have grown into big meat buns. When the menstruation of this life comes, I can't help but put up my middle finger to express my resentment towards the god of *---I hate the moon letter belt made of plant ash, I am super absorbent.I want a 410 Sophie for a good night's sleep! ! !

Of course, apart from these insignificant things, Hongluan's position beside Cui Yingying has become more and more solid, comparable to Xuemei's.Because Hongluan is clever, quick to learn, not talkative, and winky, even Mrs. Cui has to admit that she is a capable person. The more she is like this, the more Mrs. Cui is worried that her daughter will not be able to control her.

In the past three years, Mrs. Cui seldom showed her face except eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, but no one in the whole house dared not take her seriously.

For three years, Cui Yingying presided over the middle school of the Cui Mansion, and she also had to take care of her cheap younger brother.Yingying began to panic, and asked Mrs. Cui for help several times but was rejected.It was Hong Luan who spoke of Mrs. Cui's good intentions: Prime Minister Cui has gone, and the strength of the Cui family is not as good as before. After the filial piety, the young lady wants to marry Zheng Taiwei's eldest son, the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law, and she must have the demeanor of being a housewife. Comparing the daily life of Cui's mansion now with the future, it is regarded as practice; and the fact that Mrs. Cui has a little baby is to let her sister and brother get along more and cultivate some relationships. After all, this little baby will be the pillar of Cui's mansion in the future. , and also Cui Yingying's backer in the Zheng family in the future.

Cui Yingying was grateful to her mother for thinking about herself wholeheartedly. After crying a lot, she seemed to be a different person, and she was no longer cowardly. After three years, with the assistance of the housekeeper, Hongluan, and Xuemei, the entire Cui Mansion The rectification is proper and appropriate.

..............................

One day, just after Hongluan finished reconciling accounts with Tian Gui's family in the small kitchen, she was told that his wife wanted to see her.

Now the madam's courtyard is a bit more stale than when she first came in.

Hong Luan concentrated and held her breath, waiting for Mrs. Cui to speak.

half an hour.

"I watched with cold eyes, you have done a good job by Yingniang's side for more than four years." Madam Cui said indifferently.

Hongluan doesn't think that Mrs. Cui is simply praising herself: "It's not just a madam's praise, it's all Hongluan's job."

"I always thought you were clever and assertive, but now it seems that you have a big heart. Since the first time I saw you, I haven't heard you call yourself a 'servant', and your heart can be punished." Madam Cui's voice was not heavy but full of meaning. majesty.

Hongluan knew that Mrs. Cui had seen through her tricks, but she didn't panic. She guessed that it was not because of this that Mrs. Cui came to him: "Madam, calm down, Hongluan's heart can be learned from the world, and the sun and the moon can show it."

"Oh? Is it because you don't distinguish between superiors and inferiors?" Mrs. Cui was aggressive.

"No, Hongluan is following the law and not forgetting her heart."

"What law, what heart?"

"Hongluan's family belongs to the Cui family, and they dare not forget the kindness of the master's family; Hongluan entered the mansion since childhood, and dare not forget the kindness of teaching; Hongluan serves the young lady, and dare not forget the kindness of the lady's promotion. But Hongluan's heart It’s just that I don’t want to die.”

"Bold! The little girl also wants to control her own life?"

"No, madam misunderstood what Hongluan meant. Let's hear what Hongluan said. When she entered the mansion, there were four people in Hongluan's house. Qingniao made a mistake and was sold because she went the wrong way. Mrs. Green chose to serve the master." It was she who lost her heart and followed Madam you freely, and finally got married with a boy...but Hongluan didn't want to go the wrong way, didn't want to lose her heart, and didn't want to be matched with anyone at will." Hongluan complained that facing the profound Madam Cui was comparable to her. Facing Cui Yingying, I was much more nervous. A person who has lived half his life is a fool who is [-]% true and [-]% false.

"Then what do you want? Do you think it's not good to be a wife? It's not good to be a kid?" Madam Cui's tone was gloomy, and people who have nothing to ask for often have great wishes!

"Hongluan only thinks that if one day her father and brother are not slaves, maybe the little nephew or grandnephew can be a man in the field, working from sunrise to sunset." Hongluan lowered her head and tried to widen her eyes—the secret method of pretending to cry Don't go out, wait until the running water is all over your face, throw yourself at Mrs. Cui's legs, "Madam please forgive Hong Luan for being arrogant, Hong Luan wants his family members to leave their citizenship."

"You should know that Madam Ben doesn't believe you. If your family members are divorced, what will hinder you?" Madam Cui put on the appearance of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, maybe she felt that she had seen through Hong Luan's "wish" ", and settle down a little distracted.

"What Hong Luan wants is not the present, but the future. When the young lady marries into the Zheng family, she will gain a firm foothold and have both children. I hope that my wife will be able to fulfill Hong Luan."

But Mrs. Cui seems to really believe it. After all, Hongluan's request is very in line with the inertial thinking of people nowadays.

"Okay, I promise you that I will treat my sons and daughters well. Not only your family, but you can also be released to freedom. The premise is that you do what you said."

"Mrs. Xie made it perfect." Hongluan thought that today's play made her own sacrifice really big enough, so she fell to the ground and fell to her knees!

But it's a good thing to be able to talk about it. Every year when Hongluanniang came to visit her, she would express her desire to leave her nationality. If she did it for them, it would be considered a cause and effect.

..............................

On this day, Dongqing was ordered by Mrs. Cui to ask the lady to discuss matters.

"Mother." Cui Yingying wore a crescent white short skirt, and her lower body was a pair of very light sky blue shirts. She was wearing a cloudy bun, and a silver-wrapped white jade hairpin was inserted obliquely.

That's right, Mrs. Cui looked at her daughter in a daze. Except for Xiao Xiao, Yingniang is nineteen years old. If it wasn't for... she should have been a mother long ago.

"Mother, why are you looking for me?" Cui Yingying walked in gracefully, no longer the naivete who didn't understand the world and the single stupidity who was obsessed with the story.

Mrs. Cui was summoned back to her senses: "It's time to make a filial piety. It's time to prepare for your marriage."

Cui Yingying was a little shy but still maintained a graceful posture, leaning sideways to listen to her mother's next words.

Mrs. Cui praised her daughter's present demeanor very much: "Your father was ill that year, the first emperor took pity on us and didn't let us move out of Xiangguo's mansion. Now that the sage is enthroned, we have passed the filial piety period, so it's time to move out."

"Mother said so."

"Besides, your brother should also change his family tree. Chang'an is not easy to live in. I plan to return to Qinghe this time, not just to bring back your father's tablet. I will let you get married in Qinghe, and then you will die in Qinghe as your mother."

Cui Yingying's expression changed: "Mom, you will live in Qinghe from now on? Don't you want a daughter?"

"Silly Yingniang, when she misses you, she will naturally come to see you. But our Cui family is weak, so we should go back to Qinghe. Your younger brother has entered the ethnology school again, and he can only be successful if he has someone to help him." Mrs. Cui has made up her mind.

"Yes." Cui Yingying resisted her grief and agreed.

Madam Cui said again: "The house is going to be returned to the imperial court. Most of the shops here have been tidied up, and the remaining ones will be your dowry with the two villages on the outskirts of Chang'an." Madam Cui stopped her daughter from doing this. Rejected, "Mother still keeps it for herself, don't worry. When they return to Qinghe, they won't short mother's food and clothing, but you, in the future, there will be no money in the box, and your waist will not be strong enough."

When Cui Yingying heard this, she accepted her mother's kindness with tears.

"Your servant girl Hongluan, I have already beaten her. When you are in Zheng's family with both children and children, you have allowed her to let her family go. Only when you know her weakness, can you use her with confidence. From now on, her family will come with me." Qinghe, leave the body deed with me, so that she can work for you with peace of mind when she is alone in Chang'an." Madam Cui considered her daughter in everything.

Although Cui Yingying felt that she was a little sorry for Hongluan, she had to admit that what her mother did was in her best interest.

..............................

After returning to Fuqu Xiaozhu, Cui Yingying saw Hongluan and hesitated to speak.

Seeing the young lady's expression, Hongluan knew that the madam had probably said that. Before Cui Yingying could speak, she confessed: "Madam did look for Hongluan a few days ago. Miss, don't feel embarrassed or feel sorry for Hongluan. Hongluan I have been with Miss for almost five years, and Miss's soft temper really needs to be changed. Madam has done exactly what Hong Luan wanted, and when Miss lives without any worries, Hong Luan can retire."

Cui Yingying was deeply moved by Hongluan's words - this little silly girl always felt that Hongluan was sincere to her, but in fact it didn't make any difference. Just let yourself go back to modern times.

..............................

The Cui Mansion began to prepare for leaving Beijing.

While selling off the property, he dealt with the servants.

Tao Xiang, who is beside Cui Yingying, married the son of the steward of the outer court last year, and became Fu Qu Xiaozhu's "Dashan family"——Taoxiang's man was named Dashan.

Xuemei was going to stay in Zheng's mansion for remarriage, so as to win over the influence of Zheng's servants.

But the Magpie family proposed to redeem themselves—it seems that Hongluan's idea was not abrupt, so Mrs. Cui easily believed it.

After all, Magpie and Cui Yingying were masters and servants, and they had some kind of friendship. Cui Yingying took Magpie's ransom money, and then gave them a pair of silver bracelets as a thought.

So Hongluan also took on the dual duties of combing hair and dressing clothes, and became the only big maid beside Miss.

Oriole, Skylark, Swift, and Qingge are still second-class maids, and they will be transferred later—everyone knows that after the young lady marries into the Zheng family.After all, he is an old man who has been with Miss for many years, so who else can he bring as dowry besides them.

In addition to the servants, there are also a group of people with embarrassing identities in Cui's mansion.

The women in the side courtyard were trembling. Ever since Mrs. Cui's thunderous tactics, she had been eating and drinking. Now that Cui's residence was about to move with her family, she also began to worry about her own future.

After giving countless favors to the housemaids and housekeepers, they finally waited for Madam Cui's arrangement for them: those who have family members in Chang'an, who are willing to take them back, will receive part of the money and take them back; those who have no family members will go back to their hometown in Qinghe together.

Most of them are from Chang'an, and they bid farewell to Mrs. Cui with their families after receiving their belongings.

The mighty Mrs. Lan was originally the maidservant next to Mrs. Cui. She was brought back to Qinghe and sent to her family temple.
